Grace -

I thought the goal of statistics was to prove that the three lemon drops were going to go to the richest 1% of the players.

No, that's political economics. One honey lemon drop goes to DC, one goes to Brussels, and GE can keep the one that fell on the carpet.

Grace--

Think about what you said.

>>>I thought the goal of statistics was to prove that the three lemon drops were going to go to the richest 1% of the players.<<<

Well of course the richest 1% of the players of a given machine get the three lemon drops. They are by definition the "winners" aren't they? The machine pays out the big money because they pulled three lemon drop? Does that not make them richer than the other 99% of the players of that machine? <ggg>

Then you have to consider who the real winner is and we know that's always the House...The White House...The House of Representatives...(and the Senate.)<ggg>
