Re: What are the chances
Thanks, sometimes the pictures aren't quite clear exactly which species it is. Especially if I have no clue as to what they might be in the first place.

Nope, doubles are easy. It's triples or nothing!

Re: What are the chances
This is like trying to hit the slots....all we need is the silly sounds to go with it. Just as addictive, too. I seem to get a lot of doubles-no triples.

On a PC, you'd use the PrintScreen button on the keyboard, and then open a drawing program (MS Paint for example) and paste in the copy of the screen.andywoolloo wrote:i haven't seen three yet and how are u all doing the screen capture?

Re: What are the chances
Just to clarify my original post about the odds.
The chance of a particular triplet is 1 in 2744.
The chance of any triplet is obviously 14 in 2744 or 1 in 196.
As an aside the chances of a pair is 560 in 2744 or about 1 in 5.
So we should see a pair every 25 minutes on average.
We should see any triplet once every 16 hours or so.
We should see a particular triplet once every 9.5 days or there about.
The bug was fixed on 21st June so by this Wednesday we have an evens chance of the full set!

Re: What are the chances
For those using Apple (Mac) you press cmd, shift, 4. You then drag the mouse to create the rectangle/square and let go. It is saved onto the desktop. Apple rules!andywoolloo wrote:i haven't seen three yet and how are u all doing the screen capture?

Re: What are the chances
I think duplicates are still appreciated. Just doesn't get us further on our quest to (screen) capture these elusive cats.
