    Yes, but one of the possible issues is that there are more newer bonds. This surely must bias the odds towards newer bonds due to the greater number - but that doesn't actually mean a younger bond has a better chance - only that there is a better chance of a winning bond being younger which is not the same thing.

    Of course it is possible that there is a skewing, but I don't think so.
