I bet there's plenty of 9s left. They obviously didn't get a proper range of digits at Benford's Discount Number Store. 172.69.195.113 05:53, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Is this not an error? "15 2s and 12 3s" uses up one 3. So shouldn't it next be 11 3s left, not 10? -- 172.69.144.152 10:41, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

The above mentioned “error” is not an error. When she says there are 13 2s left, that uses up one 3. PedanticMan (talk) 11:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

There's no pause, no "No wait" after "13 2s". Is she reevaluating numbers instantly realtime midsentence? Did she start the sentence planning to say one thing and instantly altered it partway through? I guess that's what Randall is going for. -- 172.69.144.162 12:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
