Midnight Movie



Hopperational Details for Tuesday 11 October 2011

For a midweek hop, I have chosen my nearest step 5 fixtures at unvisited grounds, and linked them to the throw of two dice in such a way that the most likely outcome will give me the shortest journey.  There are 11 possible outcomes whose probabilities range from 1 in 36 (the "double one" or the "double six") to 1 in 6 (or 6 in 36, the six ways in which the total could end up as 7 - 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1).  It's almost midnight on Monday, so this is a silent movie!  Feel free to improvise your own melodramatic piano accompaniment, but don't go near the old A Flat Minor joke.  Please.

Small print: all of this assumes that I can finish work on time at 4.30pm or so to allow enough time for the journey!

Roll camera one - ACTION!
