Oh bloody hell!

I thought I was rid of the Twins Plague. My nice new MacPro hadn't done it at all. My old PowerMac was a bugger for it, bucking the odds with about one in four twin births (complained about on here previously) So what does hubby do?

Sticks 4 GB extra RAM in the bloody MacPro which then immediately starts to dump twins on me. The wretched thing has 6 GB RAM in total and is making a total nuisance of itself. Four out of four of my last births were twins.

Someone PLEASE convince me that this is coincidence.


floopyboo:
Ah, they joys of sadorandom dice falls.

This is precisely why I have TwoJeff's triplets & quads hack - so if I am having a glut of multiple births, I can do something about it.

Nailati:
Nope, not a coincidence. The odds of twin birth are well known to be based on how much RAM you have. Incidentally, was your computer manufactured in a leap year? This has also been known to increase twin births in games installed on those machines, but only if they have less than 2 or more than 3 GB of RAM.

Ayslhyn:
Yes but why did this only start AFTER the extra RAM was put in? The puter was fine before that. Stupid hubby installs all that RAM. Mac goes haywire.


Zazazu:
If you look for a cause to a random event, you will always be able to manufacture one. RAM has nothing to do with it. Randomness. Get TJ's hack and edit the odds to lower the percentage of multiples, if it pisses you off to that level.
