Where it lands in a sorted draw

Sort a draw and 7 has a favourite seat — chance gives a small number the low positions more often. That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.

  • 1st smallest6 · chance 4.0
  • 2nd smallest1 · chance 3.8
  • 3rd smallest2 · chance 1.1
  • 4th smallest0 · chance 0.1

How many people play it

What this cannot tell you

Nothing here predicts the next draw. A number’s history is a record of a fair machine’s past, and the machine keeps none of it: 7 is drawn with probability 5/35 tonight whatever it did last week.
