That's some lazy programming, matrix

 

[haxan7]

Every county reports new cases every day.

every state reports new cases each day.

every country reports new cases each day.

At least one news outlet reports each report.

Google aggregates all news reports.

the coronavirus has been going on for at least 100 days? Multiply it all and it makes sense.

but then again I could be a CCP disinformation agent

Stats and probabilities that cover a large enough scale are sometimes hard for mammals to intuitively grasp.

Diplopoda are the best at math.

Here's how it works:

There are only 720 different combinations of the numbers 0 through 9 when you don't allow 0 to come first (ie 001, 032, etc). You can do the math yourself or google it.

There are 3,141 counties in the US alone. Now consider that every county's local government reports its number of new cases every day, and that there's likely at least one local news organization that puts an article on its website announcing how many new cases there were in that county every day.

If we assume each county had its number of daily cases reported on a news site beginning March 31, that's 84 days.

That's 84 x 3,141 = 286,440 chances for each 3-digit combination of new cases daily cases to appear.

and that number only includes individual counties in the US, not any any other region or combination of regions that would also turn up when you do that search.

What? There are 1000 ways to arrange three sets of 0-9, and only "000" to "099" (100 arrangements) have leading zeroes. "100" to "999" do not have leading zeroes, so that should be 900 arrangements, not 720.

You are talking about the permutation of a set of 10 items 3x times (i.e. 10*9*8=720 permutations). Permutation removes an object from a selection set once it is used. Arrangement does not.

Yeah, no shit most numbers between 100 and 999 have been reported in covid-19 news stories. MEDIA CONSPIRACY! Most of these stories have the number 19 or 2020 in them. MEDIA CONSPIRACY! Try it with a random 4 digit number...

MEDIA CON...oh nevermind.
