31time

Every number was expected about that many times after 17 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 11 draws. A number waits about 5 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
