Statisticians are already drooling over all those zeroes, and the frantic calculations that have ensued are a mathematician's dream.

The question you've got to ask yourself: Was last week, when we went a combined 21-24, a fluke and the 8-33 of the week before the representative sample? Or was it the other way around?
