What are the chances

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

Well 5 out of 14 have been 'captured' so 35.7% down, just the rest to go.....

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.

Iwona is well on the way to having bragging rights, I haven't even spotted one yet.

Birger - plenty to go - we're not even halfway yet

Dangit, I got the 3 S. barbatus at once. The first time I've seen three since I started watching ;).

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.

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!

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!

The same triplet of corys, but another day

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

loachy_406 · Post by **loachy_406** » 30 Jun 2008, 21:36

Duplicate myself now! KnaveTO beat me to it ages ago.

OK, well the simple answer is upgrade to MSIE7 (which is a lot better anyway) but I will look into it.
