Does anyone else use my non binary sort start? I'll go early or late in the alphabet first guess to take a chance on a big lowering of odds. Go for dog and get before and you are off to a flyer.

If I’m understanding this correctly…. That will work if your 'dog' gamble is successful. But probability stats would say it’s mostly unlikely to work, surely? To use chess terminology, you may gain a tempo say, one in 5 times (not sure of exact probability) but wouldn’t you lose a tempo 4 out of 5 times?
