Mysteries of PA

First mystery, why are there 10 galaxies per cluster, except in the 10th, 11th, and 12th clusters? What is the proverbial "dealio" with that?

Random is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Mysteries of PA

It's probably because there's a Black Hole on that side of the universe slowly sucking in one galaxy per cluster.

Re: Mysteries of PA

Coffee: its because some of those galaxies became 'unviable' - ie, too many people exiled out of them so much so that they were just too small when compared to the rest of the universe. So they were collapsed and the remaining planets were re-distributed.

iirc, anyway.

Re: Mysteries of PA

its more likely tyhat the shuffler coorectly created the galaxies so that there was a maximum difference of 1 in the number of galaxies per cluster.

the number of galaxies are set by the number of buddy packs, whereas cluster size is fixed, so there is an inevitable fitting problem that the shuffler has to deal with

Re: Mysteries of PA

The 10th, 11th, and 12th clusters are a different size to all the other Clusters and hence do not have 10 galaxies each.
