As a mathematician, I'm strongly opposed to "extrapolations" (they are for the
physicists :). I need proof! :-))

But I think these games are fun, esp. if my machines have nothing else to do all
night (my HDs are packed, so I can't use the nights to download the 6-man TBs
from Bob's site :-(.
Besides, 1/game to 5/game have their own right to exist, after all that's what's
happening on ICC/FICS all the time.
