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)
“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 already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)
