What a coincidence: I was only yesterday looking up Lancelot Hogben [1], whose probability book using card games and chess is very interesting [2]. I wanted to see if this book was available in print. Today, I see this factoid come up as a top comment. Hogben was the main statistician instrumental in this research on the African clawed frog. The reason why clicked on this thread was because I was always intrigued by H. P. Lovecraft's horror towards fungi [3]. I always wonder if he was onto something. :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancelot_Hogben#Early_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancelot_Hogben#Early_life [2] Hogben, L.
