Re: The fact is, Moiraine is not half as strong as Lanfear, hence she is below average strength. Tor Send a noteboard - 28/10/2012 07:27:26 PM
Hence, all modern Aes Sedai fall below the mean of the Bell Curve.


Seriously, that is not how the Gaussian distribution works. There is no rule saying the highest value is twice the average value.

Did Perva actually initiate the link or was it Androl? *NM* TheCrownless - 24/10/2012 07:02:15 PM 841 Views
Androl did. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 25/10/2012 05:10:31 AM 1052 Views
But didn't Nynaeve do it first at the cleansing? TheCrownless - 25/10/2012 12:43:15 PM 1340 Views
Pevara was thinking on very sketchy information. Great Lord of Chaos - 25/10/2012 08:56:20 PM 1374 Views
did he start the link? or just take it? nigelgoboom - 27/10/2012 07:33:49 AM 988 Views

Not particularly strong evidence for that last. Great Lord of Chaos - 26/10/2012 05:36:54 AM 1273 Views
