the guy who be short has just left Hobbiton.
I know the plan has been abandoned, but I just thought I'd bring up that the chance of there being four female wolves is (11!/7!) / (22!/18!) which comes out to 1 in 22.17. Seems a little unlikely.

Actually, that was the original chance. Factoring in all the deaths thus far, we get (10!/6!) / (18!/14!) which is 0.069. Almost negligable. By killing off all the men, we would, statistically speaking, probably get two wolves plus a lover.

But never mind. No point going on about it.
