Yuletide 2024 recs
Dec. 29th, 2024 10:08 amA couple niche things I've loved from the collection, currently each sitting at only around 20-some hits.
( Fandoms: Girls5eva, A Dark Room, A Guide for Young Ladies Entering the Service of the Fairies, The Queen's Thief, Alice in Borderland )
Fun fact: recs 3 and 4 have the same last three digits of their url, which tripped me up when I was double-checking my links! What were the chances?
There are 10^3 = 1000 different possible combinations of last three digits, so 1000^5 different combinations for the 5 recs I gave. The probability that they were all distinct (as I expected when using this heuristic to double-check I didn't copy the same url twice) should be 1000 * 999 * 998 * 997 * 996 / 1000^5 = 99.003%. That this didn't happen (at least two numbers were identical) is the inverse of that, 1%. Wow, less rare than I thought but still unlikely. Another Yuletide miracle?
