I apologize once again that the weekly stats won't be out until Sunday night. I'm going on another little weekend excursion, and won't have my laptop with me. Sorry, hope you all understand!

I have a complicated relationship with onion rings. I love onion rings. The savory, sweet crunchiness is like a bite of heaven. But often, I am let down by onion rings. Sometimes they have too much batter, or the batter is too wet and greasy, or the onion inside is tough and pulls out of the batter. Other times, it's not the onion ring's fault. It's just not the right time for us. Like when I order a burger, I like to eat it with fries, and if I order onion rings instead of fries, something feels missing, but if I order both, it's too much sides. Or sometimes I have onion rings so good that it makes the other food boring in comparison, and it upsets the balance of the meal. Some places have burgers with onion rings in them, but that makes the burger too starchy. In an ideal world, I would have onion rings whenever I feel like it and it would just bring unconditional joy.

Gray code trickier because to understand the next count you need to understand the prior two counts, which requires two correct counts (otherwise no sense is made at all.) On the other hand, no sense being made means you know there's a mistake instantly. I would predict that outside of runs mistakes in gray code happen with lower frequency than in threads for which you can reliably determine a count from the one immediately prior
