Google _does_ vary its results almost unpredictably (which I find annoying). In this case, I don’t think it’s cookies or other Google secrets, but just geographical switching based on ISP. I got same results with another machine, BUT a very different list when I accessed Google search through an anonymizing proxy server! In _that_ search the septet I think I spoiled for you was #1, the one with a possible word from “Septet L” was #2, my “septet I” was #3, and the #1-2-5 septet Google is so proud of for my region (though I’d never heard of it) didn’t even make the Top 10.

Yes, I suppose I should be able to figure out what country you live in, if you keep posting Google search ranks! There is no privacy anymore, get over it. :eek:
