on the topic of autobiographies, which are your top 3 (say) favorites?

Refer also Benford’s Law. It relies on the idea that the distribution of digits in multi-digit natural numbers is not random. 30% probability that a legitimate number will start with 1. Fraudsters tend to go with higher numbers or an even distribution.

Wow, you weren't joking about having an encyclopedic memory for HN comments!
