Nice software Frank !
After 100,000 trials, I am getting to 25.16 % !
Peace be upon you George !
NOTE : This 25% figure works OK since we computed a very big number of cases.
As John Karl mentioned and brought evidence about it, for INDIVIDUAL cocked hats, we can have quite different values.
Best Regards
