Regarding that basho, what the hell is THIS? Why did they get the fabulous idea of pairing a yokozuna and an ozeki on shonichi and immediately discarded it afterwards? I would be all for it, really. Is there any explanation?

He defeated 2 KK rikishi in his run. That should count for something.

Had you said "you" referring to me, it would have been incorrect. Your correct answer would be "me" referring to you.

I was too lazy to look for the thread where it was mentioned, somebody analyzing the "Yusho Grand Slams" and the correction that he won a yusho in July but the year it wasn't in Nagoya because covid.

Since his rise to yokozuna, Terunofuji was 6-0 against ozeki. Until yesterday happened...and then today. He choked big time. He's really cursed in Nagoya. Sumodb query

Oh, boy, it seems to me my score is as fringy as it can be. Not even a jun-yusho will save me? Shall I name myself Miyabikeumi thus creating a paradox where I cannot be promoted nor demoted?

Thanks for putting me in my place I'm so fucking long gone from my marginal statistics studies...oh, boy.

I'm no one to validate your code, especially as my Python knowledge is null, but everything's invented now that they have internet in computers and damn it, I'll take advantage of it being as lazy as I am. This web allows you to calculate the number of (exactly/at least/at most) heads in a row in X tries. So it should be around 26.29% for 150 bouts if we don't mind from which side the winning strike comes from, which is quite close to your result but I'm a picky arsehole. Right now I'm way too sleepy to check everything and maybe I'm wrong and your code is right but if it helps somebody in some way, so be it. This one made me chuckle. EDIT: I just noticed your previous calculation was 26.3% as it appears like that in Gurowake's quote. Why wasn't it correct though?

"Funnily" enough, except Mitakeumi, none of the affected sekitori will get a sizable benefit of getting his rank frozen (if that's what ultimately happens) and no one seemed to be featuring in a division exchange. Maaaaaaaaybe Kotonowaka with a strong finish could have gotten a sansho and/or a promotion to sanyaku. And "luckily" Nishikigi lost to Takakeisho to drop out of the yusho race (though I don't believe he would have featured in it actually when all's said and done)

Tamawashi and Nishikigi out due to COVID @Inside Sport Japan informed on the basho thread that Shibatayama, Kataonami and Isenoumi-beya are out.

No worries. I'll just change my shikona to Miyabiyama so you have further reasons to deny my promotion (BTW, it seems fair to me, no problem there)
