numbers numbers numbers

Okay, so I haven't been around for a while.  But while I was gone I spent some time (a lot of time) working out the interactions by hand.  And then inputting them into a google doc.  And getting some of the stats. The first major result being this:

2376	7132	4692	2440	7208	2366	2954	3154	300	746	527	9	40	12274	8262	3626
100%	100%	66%	34%	100%	33%	41%	100%	10%	24%	100%	2%	8%	100%	67%	30%
A Valid/Hits	B Valid	B Hits	B Pairs	C Valid	C Hits	C Pairs	D Valid	D Hits	D Pairs	E Valid	E Hits	E Pairs	2zone Valid	2 Zone Hits	2z pairs

Now these are the numbers overall, rather than broken down by how crowded the squares are.  That's why you see some hits and pairs in the "E"s.  Those are the results for squares that have eight or seven knowns respectively.

(As a reminder, A=four influences, B=three influences, C=two influences, D=one influence, E=no influence.  A "hit" is a deduction.)

Now the interesting thing is at the end, where I've collected the results for having two influences within the same zone affecting a square.  You'll notice that it's a good bit more powerful for getting hits than the Cs are, where the influences can be coming from two different zones.  

Overall, the stats look something like this:

25823	5462	21%	20361	79%	4416	22%	9751	48%	6172	30%	15923	78%
total	Invalid	percent invalid	Valid 1	percent valid	None	none as percent of valid1	Hits	hits as percent of valid1	Pairs	Pairs as percent of valid1	all (calc)	all as percent of all valid1

This makes it seem like hits are easier to get than pairs, but since it includes squares that solve themselves, it probably doesn't represent the way we really solve the puzzles.  I'll need to work out the stats for each level of crowdsquare to really see where the drop off is for results.
