I know it doesn't matter, but from a students point of view I want to know. How in the heck did Snow have 1/2 her litter turn out pointed???? At best her and her Tom are both carriers. I know 100% who her Tom was because of the surrender situation. Snow is all white with just a dab of blue on the top of her head, almost not noticeable. She has bright yellow eyes. Tom is white and Tabby with green/yellow eyes. So how did this happen?

Statistical variation?

I have seen and made the experiment of coin throwing: king or eagle. 50%, no?

OK, pretend you do have a class in 4 or 5 grade, and let them throw  in pairs 10x10 series. One throws one writes down the results. 20 pupils, 10 pairs. Thus, you get say 100 series of 10.  Are they even, 5 in each, and one this one that? No, Sir Madam. Very few are so even. Several a few have even 7 eagles running in a row...  There happens even 7 kings in a row!!!

But if you add the whole class results, all 100 series, you get your 50/50 almost into the decimale...

Lol!! I guess that's all true :D I just thought only if one was pointed could this happen!! Rule breakers!! Lol well I'm very happy for them, I was hoping for at least one point and so far I have 4 for sure!! I just thought there HAD to be science behind this, but lucky it is instead!
