It's paradoxical, because while I went straight to the point with what I wanted to show, you don’t accept it because the math turned it into an ego race. Your proposal is total distance / simulations.

It's like saying Usain Bolt runs 10 races of 100 meters against Pepe, wins 7, and then concluding that both are equal by adding up 100m x 10 = 1000m. Since both have covered the same distance, both runners must be equal.

That’s magnificently absurd.

Except you forgot that your code counts EXECUTED checks, not FULL RANGE checks.

So what is absurd, is your method of comparation by dividing actual work by number of wins, without caring about relative effort, and even ties.

By your judgement, if Usain wins by 1 millisecond, than Pepe didn't even compete.
