You Win Game #: 8x4 29997 Game stats: 500/500/100.00% If someone ever were to do a study of the unlikely number combinations that have occurred over the years here...........

Well..........would have been better if it was 500/500/500%. And better still if it was 5x5, climate 5. But I sorta doubt any 5x5s (even the easier climate 6s), can get to 500 wins, and very unlikely at a 500% success rate.

About 1.5%, apparently. Took me a minute to find out this was a level 8 game, and there are 468 in that level which are 500/500 or better. In level 10, there are only 8 such games. In level 5, there aren't any 100% games, regardless of number of plays - I have a feeling that intentional losses have something to do with this stat.

That there are that many climate 8 games with 500 or more no-losers is remarkable. Without checking, I'm guessing that climate 10 games have had considerably more plays, which would be part of the explanation. For climate 5, yes, intentional losses would be part of it, but lackadaisical play and weaker players abiding there are probably more of the reason. Along with climate 5 being harder than climate 6, of course.
