Are you accusing the simulation writers of cheating? *All* of them?
There's more than one of them out there and I provided (badly written)
source code for my own simulation. What's wrong with it? Do these
simulations fail to represent the puzzle as stated?

You really are an ignoramus of the worst sort. The kind that gives
philosophy a bad name. You toss about words to "prove" that the
outcome should be 50/50, despite the fact that it is not. You
conclude that, since your words are so pretty, it must be the
simulation that is at fault, much like those legendary[1] philosophers
who refused to look through Galileo's telescope.

In short: You embarrass me, son.

Here in Wales we breathe strong, free, welsh breezes and can see a spiv coming a mile off. We got our heads screwed on alright, don't you worry about that. Woof.
