Laptops are subject to electrical attacks, such as "Magic Missile", so you wouldn't want to take one into battle. And blunt weaponry. And water. And sharp weaponry. And ogres. Ok, ok, laptops have something like Armor Class 20. What are you doing carrying one? That's mighty expensive toy there, you'd be much safer with an abacus.

Back on subject, yes, seriously this time. This is just a coincidence. Example to illustrate a point: It's sort of possible that a lottery number could be 1111111111111111, and that's no more likely than it being any other number. Yet if it was all 1's, someone not well versed in Probability might cry foul. If we used something other than base 10, you wouldn't even notice you had a strange average die roll :)

Really, I'd like to see you prove that number through statistics versus the Monte Carlo or Brute Force method. Much more interesting. Of course, being a lazy programmer with a lot of powerful hardware in front of me (who has pretty much forgetten all of his College Stat class), I'd go for the Monte Carlo or Brute Force method myself :)
