Answer: Seven 1's :)
Assuming not an exaggeration ie. 98 - 1*6 - 1*10 gives a min score of 82 from 12 days So, how many 10 and/or 9's did you get in the first 12 days?
Overall you're currently still better off then @toxicgherkin :)
If it's you're birthday month you might still have a chance. Would need roughly 170ish (+5 above the monthly average). Don't give up just yet @FARMERTYSON :)
Good luck and Happy Birthday to all April birthday members. @FARMERTYSON, and @rianlana I think. Might be one or two more. :)
@SunnyLife Any hints why you say that?
@Winner1 A better question is what would be the odds for a similar scenario?
You can use combination probability have fun. I'm preoccupied :)
Eg Assuming 100 active members what be the odds within a year for a similar scenario occurring. i.e. For any given number occurring 6 times within 7 days. End up with 90 possible combinations out of a total (10^7).
For a year hmm 358 seven day periods and 100 members
35800*70= 2506000
2506000/10000000 = 0.25 i.e. 25% chance occurring in a year or on average once in approximately every 4 years
Be a rough starting point would need to check if used the correct methodology.
Taking one members run of numbers for a week may hint at an issue it's stretching it. You need to look a larger sample of random scores. I wouldn't expect your scenario to reoccur for a while. It's not impossible.
Eg
The odds of two consecutive days being the same number 10/100 , 3 days 10/1000 etc. So good chances at least one member out of 100 may get repeating numbers for the next 3 days.
It's not to say there may be an issue, by just using a sample of a couple of members scores over one week doesn't demonstrate much apart from that combination is a possibility. One out of a possible 10 million combinations for each member in a week.
