All these results look rather compatible. I think we should make another test on our overall results. Please report the vector ##(v_1,\ldots,v_7,v_8) = (\ldots)## where ##v_j## represents the number of "solved in ##j## guesses" for ##j<7\, , \,v_7=## "number of failed attempts" and the check sum ##v_8=## "number of total rounds".

Mine is: ##(0,37,181,278,165,48,20,729).##
I would like to do this, but the (NYT) game won't show me my stats anymore, unless I "register." I just hate this money-grubbing crap. I don't want to see any more NYT ads while I'm browsing or looking at Facebook, or whatever. /RANT
