I don't think they are uniformly distributed. Anecdotally, in my friend's backyard, the ratios I found were more like 10000 three-leaf 15 four-leaf

I don't think they are uniformly distributed. Anecdotally, in my friend's backyard, the ratios I found were more like
10000 three-leaf
15 four-leaf
7 five-leaf
4 six-leaf
2 seven-leaf
I would assume that the ratios in any given area can be quite different than another area.
- giantg2 11mo agoThis. The distribution varies greatly. Just like some patches have more 4 leaf clovers than other patches.
- exomonk 11mo agoSo 2:1 for four-leaf:five-leaf? Seems to reinforce their point that this blog is bs
- hatthew 11mo agomy point is that the ratios are variable, and thus 100:1 four-leaf:five-leaf is plausible
- exomonk 11mo agoIt's hard to see it being off by multiple orders of magnitude.
- hatthew 11mo agoThe link suggests that we expect to see 100:1 four-leaf to six-leaf ratio, but in that one patch I found about a 4:1 ratio. I think it is very plausible that different lineages and/or different environmental conditions could cause wildly varying numbers.
