This statement is not correct. You did not specify if the 1000 numbers in the bag were all distinct. Or how many distinct ones there were. Say all 1000 numbers were "42". Then the chances that the maximum of the 10 numbers is greater than the number picked first are not "high" as you say, but actually zero, the smallest probability possible. So it depends upon initial conditions. >Maybe Rybka is a Nimzo clone :-) No, maybe not. :) More interesting is - will HYDRA become a RYBKA clone? :) >Chrilly
