Thinking

Oh... well now I feel like a moron...

But then: I always feel like that! Blush
The question wasn't "which sequence done once takes fewer" (that would be 50/50).

It is "which is statistically more common should this continue?"

I have now learned to recognize the difference... : o I have learned something this otherwise blissfully ignorant day >_<
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
