I think it means he can talk through his arsehole.

Ha ha! (à la Nelson)

Oh well, at least those are the valuable first-edition misprints.

Calculate the odds. As mentioned in a previous post, duplicates in 18/60 (now 62) are highly likely. A simplified formula is toothpicks squared over haystack, or (17*17)/60 = 4.8 duplicates, although I it seems like in practice about 2-3 is more common.

The more cards that are available, the less likely duplicates become. So send in your data, people! For those who want to help out, I am working on a submission form.

Right, I"m just amazed that they don't dedupe on a per-pack basis. I only ordered one pack; you'd think they'd choose 18 unique cards at random, rather than choosing 18 cards independently.

I understand there'd be duplicates if you order multiple packs. I'm just surprised there's duplicates within a single pack.

I ordered two packs back when and got a notice Friday that it has shipped. *cheer*

Is there a new challenge to submit under a new moniker for the sole purpose to have a cool ass name on a card?

That's just silly. How in the world would I put my little cape and tights on my car keys?

You should not be amazed. This was fully disclosed here: http://songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.p ... 55#p189755

I have put in a suggestion on the site that they create an option for no duplicates in subset packages. It is getting a lot of up votes. I will keep you posted.

If you've been meaning to submit, help me out by testing out this form and giving me any feedback you might have.

Thanks, SPUD

Okay. I gave it a test run. I randomly picked to do a card for Beatnik Turtle.

All of the information came in fine. Any hiccups on your end, Niveous?

I submitted updates to Intentionally Left Bank's card data. Was that a no-no?

You posted that after I ordered and I wasn't reading every single post about the minutiae of what the manufacturer does. I just post a lot to this forum, that doesn't mean I read everything.

Nope. Pretty straight forward. I'm going to try again later today and I got Dan Bailey (His Name is Dan) to try it out as well.

I just submitted a Balls to Monte card. I did notice that the percentile didn't change on the preview but other than that (which it may just be on the preview), everything else seemed copacetic.

Percentile didn't change... explain. Was it wrong?

Balls to Monte has 20 songs and 2 wins, so it should say 10% but it says 0% instead.

Nitpick: That's "percentage," not "percentile."

Thanks, Niv. I see what happened there. I forgot to multiply by 100, and it was rounding everything to 0 or 1 (1=frontalot, 0=everyone else).

ooh, submission form, my trimmed photo is at work so i'll try to send one tomorrow.

And another pack that arrived today had three Tyler Zahnkes, which is at least two more than I needed!

Man, that guy is everywhere.
