Hm, I have some second thoughts about this.. In particular, this would mean that hits with 50e notes would be more interesting than hits with 200e notes. Sure, yes, I understand that if you get a bundle of used 50e and 200e notes from a bank, it's more likely that you'll get a hit with a 200e note than with a 50e note. I think 50e is the most common denomination in circulation, whereas 200e is the least common denomination. This will definitely affect the hit ratios as well.lmviterbo wrote:The remark made by an-148 might make sense in fact. Here's a new experiment:Code: Select all

Take this as a test -- have a look at the hit listing and see which ones raise your eyebrows more, the 50e hits or 200e hits. That should be the metric that we should be using, not how easy it WOULD be to get a hit with some denomination. If you really want to use the "how difficult it is to get a hit with some denomination" way of thinking, you should take into account how difficult it is to get the note in the first place. By basing the calculations on the number of hits that have really occurred we'd get real data for how unusual such hits are.
There are 431 users who have hits with both 50e notes and 200e notes. Of those, there is only one user who has more hits with 200e notes (2) than with 50e notes (1). I think the users who have both 50e and 200e hits also think their 200e hits are more interesting than the 50e hits. I can't really come up with a good justification for ranking the 50e notes higher than the 200e notes.
