Statistics
After one million games were run with a computer program, the following results were achieved:
| Statistic | Value |
|---|---|
| Average battles per game: | 253.314 |
| Average wars per game: | 15.0961 |
| Average double wars per game: | 0.756801 |
| Average triple wars per game: | 0.042637 |
| Average quadruple wars per game: | 0.002265 |
| Average quintuple wars per game: | 0.000113 |
| Average sextuple wars per game: | 0.000001 |
| Most battles in a game: | 2958 |
| Most wars in a game: | 155 |
| Most double wars in a game: | 12 |
| Most triple wars in a game: | 5 |
| Most quadruple wars in a game: | 2 |
| Most quintuple wars in a game: | 2 |
| Most sextuple wars in a game: | 1 |
| Fewest battles in a game: | 10 |
Presumably, the game with ten battles was the game with the sextuple war, which would have left the loser with one card. The loser of that war would then win a battle, then lose two in a row to eliminate all its cards.

Famous quotes containing the word statistics:
“Maybe a nation that consumes as much booze and dope as we do and has our kind of divorce statistics should pipe down about “character issues.” Either that or just go ahead and determine the presidency with three-legged races and pie-eating contests. It would make better TV.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We ask for no statistics of the killed,
For nothing political impinges on
This single casualty, or all those gone,
Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
