PQ Statistics (Week of 4/28)

The question below includes Hellcow, but nothing that follows.

There are 370 characters in the game right now. That’s 1,110 powers. When you count up how many times each color appears, 2 of those colors have the same number of occurrences (appearing on 184 characters).

What 2 colors appear the same number of times? (@WhiteBomber - when I post the answer, I’ll also post the number of occurrences for each of the colors)

Purple and Black.

Red and Yellow.

Wouldn’t it be the same as the answer to the last question?

Perp said Red and Yellow are the most common pairing, but those other colors could still be used more, just not with their same partner colors. So red and yellow appear X amount of times, but red individually shows up far more, and as an example, yellow individually could be less.

Feels like we went with which 2 show up the same number of times rather than most frequent because it would be harder to determine, you have to be exact.

Maaaaaybe lets go:
Pink and Yella :wink:

This would be easier if I didn’t have dupes…

My guess is Blue and Yellow

D’oh, I forgot about dupes.
Taking this into account, yellow is definitely one of them, but I can’t find the other (the closest I see is purple).

What I am getting is

203 - Red
190 - Black
188 - Blue
185 - Purple
184 - Yellow
160 - Green

which does add up to 1,110, but none of them match.

This wouldn’t be the first time I have been wrong about something, but I cannot find any colors that actually appear the same number of times.

Are you absolutely certain there are two 184s, or am I just playing in the wrong sandbox?

I just manually counted my dupes and I think Blue ended up at 184. But my eyesight is terrible and it’s late and I forgot what I had counted to on more than one occasion…

It is possible that I have a Purple power listed somewhere that should be green. I am constantly reviewing the database and should that prove out, I will come back here with my apologies. I say this because my numbers - up to and including Hellcow were:

203 times - Red
191 times - Black
187 times - Blue
184 times - Yellow
184 times - Purple
161 times - Green

Making @WhiteBomber the only person to get a point this week. (though I have to be flexible and assume when you said “Pink” you meant “Purple” - I thought Gwenpool settled this debate years ago).

My tracker also maintains a check for if/when new data alters the information and, of course adding Winter Soldier into the equation results in a different answer. However, since he adds Red, Purple, and Yellow, the numbers with him still result in only one tie, adding one to both Yellow and Purple.

I… I’d like to thank @nbperp! If not for his guidance (and tool with the answers) I don’t know where I would be today!

Thank you, THANK YOU!

Also, MPQ aren’t fooling me, I’m not color blind. That is PINK, not purple.

It’s Magenta, which while a pinkish shade of purple, is still purple.

Scroll down to the 2nd test (pinks) and let us know how you do (the pink one gets quite difficult in the final few images while the first one for green is trivial at least for me).

I was rated normal for both and it’s a magenta purple.

Purpleman himself, I believe would also disagree
