Thank you for posting. You do give a reason for your answer. Why do
you say that Benford's law doesn't help here. Give me a few days to
say whether you are right or not in case others want to say whether
they agree with you or otherwise. I will also comment on your remark
about 0, 5 and 7 (not so much the 7).
