Not gonna wade through the five other pages to find out, but am I the first person to point out that this is really just a census of “people who come into MPSIMS and happen to notice the thread 'cause it’s on Page 1 and feel like posting”? So your statistical base is skewed. Whatever. 🙂 ---

+0 (have posted here already) If you’re some kind of statistician, could you help me prove that Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is fixed? Here’s the empirical evidence: Two of the five “millionaires” (only one really after taxes, but that’s a different can of worms) know each other, and two of the five this week; the same week that another trivia type show and a national campaign for a fast-food chain debuts. What are the odds? Should congressional oversight commitees be notified?
