the numbers

On day 288 of my preparations for the WSC 2009 I reached following marks:

• 1000 questions in cardbox 8
• 5000 alphagrams in all cardboxes
• 8000 words in all (70 % of them are 7's, 30% are 8's)

I now know:

• 17 % of all 7's
• 6 % of all 8's
• 3000 most probable 7's
• 2000 most probable 8's

another 3000 are words added to cardbox by using other criteria than probability (e.g. all 7-point words, words ending with -aed etc.)

I just figured out there are only 112 days left until the Scrabble Championships in Warsaw.

• 288+112 makes 400
• this means I started preparing exactly 400 days before the tournament

I'm sure nothing can go wrong now :)
