Lumiukko@infobeautiful I like how the area of 6666 is also significantly brighter 🤘 😀
EndlessMason@lumiukko
Pretty sure that's 6969, but the \m/ remains
@EndlessMason @infobeautiful Okay, fair, 6969 is even brighter in that same 4x4 segment. But 6666 shines bright, too! :D
Edit: That we are able to tell shows how good this visualization is :)
@lumiukko
I would have liked to be able to click on the cells to see more Cool PIN Number Facts™
NaClKnight 🧂⚔️🥊The writeup linked from that blog is hella interesting too
Pomax@NaClKnight @infobeautiful data genetics is always worth reading

@infobeautiful unsurprising some are more common than others
Edinburgh Man@infobeautiful Gonna change all my PINs to 9805!
Log 🪵@infobeautiful This can likely be extrapolated to longer PINs:
+ 1-digit sequence repeated N times
+ M-digit sequence repeated N/M+1 times, truncated
+ N ascending digits, starting with M
+ N descending digits, starting with M
+ dates converted into numeric sequences
The last is also why if you play lottery with non-random picks, you should always pick at least one number greater than 31. If you win the jackpot, you're less likely to share with another winner.
Dr. Brapp@infobeautiful PINs sorta kinda follow Bendord’s law?
Also, came looking for 6666 and 6969, leaving satisfied. I don’t see any big 420-related pixels though
Edit: never mind,4200 is massive, I was reading the graph backwards
