This was my weekend project, which doubled as an introduction to the world of Facebook bots and node.js. I open sourced it: https://github.com/zchr/taketen . I'd love any feedback!

That's how it initially was. But I have now made it so that, as you say, it first checks to see if it's a multiple of 7. If it's a multiple of both 7 and 3 (regardless of whether or not you have played it before), then you will no longer be

That's a great idea! The trick will be finding a place to display it. Maybe I'll add a button next to the score, and clicking it will reveal an overlay with played numbers.

I'm sorry it came off that way. I am very aware that the script in its current form does not come remotely close to doing justice given all of the data thats out there and necessary to incorporate. I meant to make it clear in the article th

The 2012 data I used as the basis of my program actually had the same thing you describe – the longest streak was an 8 game losing streak despite having more wins than losses overall. And I understand exactly where you're coming from. This

Excellent idea. And it will provide a much faster way to gauge its accuracy as I adjust the script to accomodate more areas of information. I actually just started that book and so far so excellent.

yeah for now... They're most definitely a thing, though I have a documents worth of baseball elements I hope to incorporate

I understand where you're coming from. My friend's statistics teacher said that if a flipped coin results in 5 heads, it doesn't owe you a tails – this seems to support the gambler's fallacy. Though looking at something like running: say I

Thank you. Yeah like I said it is by no means a solution to the security problem in the current authentication system. Though it is great that people are thinking of alternatives.
