I have been giving the primes some thought over the weekend and it seems to me that they might not be as special as one might think.

So I came up with the idea of a control to see if it does just as well.

lets see anyway :

Control: [19, 57, 46, 21, 37, 38, 8, 17, 45, 28, 11, 10, 51, 36, 9, 29, 53, 27, 40, 34, 20, 55, 4, 43]

[NN]

Result = [12, 16, 29, 39, 45, 51] + bonus= 5


Rand caught: {16, 51, 45, 39} ==> score: 43 [14, 12, 11, 6]
Const caught: {12, 39} ==> score: 32 [18, 14]
Prime caught: {29, 45} ==> score: 8 [5, 3]
Fib caught: {12} ==> score: 1 [1]
Control caught: {29, 51, 45} ==> score: 37 [16, 12, 9]
Nan caught: {16} +b ==> score: 20 [20]
--------------------



const [44, 18, 32] = 94
fib [37, 46, 1] = 84
prime [44, 18, 8] = 70
rand [0, 0, 43] = 43
control [0, 0, 37] = 37
nan [5, 5, 20] = 30

Damn, I missed this - it was hidden by the Saliu spam.

Since Rands top pick, 1, wasn't drawn and Rand achieved 3 hits, my my
count, I believe my algorithm beat Rand for the first time in yonks ;-)
