A biscuit probability question

[Tenacious Sloth]

Bourbons should only be purchased in industrial size packs.

Twelve is nowhere near enough.

Only a biscuit amateur would put bourbons with nice or digestives as the chocolate taste would infuse the other biscuits.

Honestly, I despair arwhat happened to this forum in my absence.

I presume the old lags on D wing followed your perfect biscuit protocol during your recent sabbatical from the forum.

The other factor to consider is the density of each biscuit type. During the shuffle, denser biscuits will naturally drop to the bottom of the bad, making them less likely to be selected.
I may do some calculations later today

What you want is to donate all your other biscuits and get some of these for yourself.

Disappointed. I expected more sophistication.

Ah but are you using your hand to make the choice though, I notice that all the quoted bikkies had different shapes/ textures so it should be easy to tell them apart (unless you're wearing boxing gloves)

You can try and model all the variables, but probability is not an exact science!
Pass the bourbons pls.
