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:
“and Olaf, too
preponderatingly because
unless statistics lie he was
more brave than me: more blond than you.”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
“July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts—for support rather than illumination.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
