for example, in only 13 of the 39 weeks were four or more of the eight guest celebrities women.
The majority of MGHSH staff were Goodson folks per the crew list I looked at - don't know how much of the celebrity booking was influenced by the network, but what you're describing is pretty much note for note what Marshall HS did during its' entire run, right down to the theme weeks.
As you said, it's a small sample size, but are you able to easily use the data to create a 3x3 grid showing how many times and/or the percentage of times the 30 appeared in each square?
Jon's lower total sticks out a little more this way. But it's tough to determine whether that's because of chance.You don't happen to have which square was picked by the contestant each time, do you? From the episodes I've seen, it seems like Jon was favored.
Now that we've gotten as many episodes of MGHS as we're ever going to get, I was curious whether the distribution of the 30 multiplier in the Super Match really was random. Toward the end of the run, Gene started making a point of saying that it was random -- did that mean it hadn't been before?Virtually certain it wasn't. A friend pointed this out to my roommate and me early in Buzzr's tenure. The 30 had a tendency to be with a celebrity who had been ignored during "Hollywood Squares." Once he began keeping track of who was called on the least, or who wasn't called on at all, he was able to predict who had the 30 with remarkable accuracy.
20 24 2116 and 24 are each about 1 standard deviation away from the mean of 20, so I'd argue that it would look random to the naked eye.
23 18 20
16 18 22

I just marvel at the fact that even during the Match Game half of the show, they made no effort to balance the panel despite having nearly a decade of evidence that it could be done successfully.As you said, it's a small sample size, but are you able to easily use the data to create a 3x3 grid showing how many times and/or the percentage of times the 30 appeared in each square?
Not without doing a manual count. But it's Saturday and I'm looking for ways to mindlessly kill a few minutes, so that's exactly what I did. Here are the total appearances, arranged by their positions in the grid:
20 24 21
23 18 20

The bit about it being possibly determined during the taping feels surprising but maybe it shouldn't be.
