try this little experiment ....

flip a coin in one room 8 times ...count the head and tails

move to another room flip it 8 times ...count the head tails

and the keep moving to 6 more rooms


my guess is that you will be able to answer your own question after conducting
this experiment ...

in fact I will save you the time and simulate this experiment using a random
number generator  <.5 =tails, >= .5 heads

the results
tails - heads

room 1 7-1
room 2 2-6
room 3 2-6
room 4 3-5
room 5 3-5
room 6 1-5
room 7 3-5
room 8 3-5


on room 1, tails were much better, in all the other rooms, heads were better..

quite simply you could have had the 7-1 sequence when playing by hand ...

I think the programs are pretty close to each other with a slight advantage to
Shredder 7.0.4 imo - but I could be wrong ...
