Exact distribution of beginner 3BV

[Tjips]

As some of you might already know Daniele Calafiore (Peppinos) and I have been trying to count the possible beginner boards, and we finally have the results of Daniele's program. Here is the normalized distribution of the 3BV:

The average 3BV is 17.203. The most probable 3BV value is 16 and the total number of boards (ignoring symmetry) is 151473214816. The actual numbers are attached...

note there is 2 3bv board every about 20,000 , so I guess everybody can get it if plays assidously. And there is 3 3bv board every 4,000, meaning you can get it in few months


PS: anybody knows how to make decent tables in this forum? I put ALL those vertical lines one by one! Tabulation does'nt work

Ok, this might not be too big a deal, but I decided to play with this result a bit to get a usable equation describing this distribution. I did a Fourier transform on the data and constructed the an approximate Fourier series for this set. It looks like this:

f(u) = 0.0165 + (0.012cos(u) - 0.028sin(u)) + (-0.013cos(2u) - 0.011sin(2u)) + (-0.005cos(3u) + 0.005sin(3u)) + (0.002cos(4u) + 0.001sin(4u))

with u = (2pi/54)x - pi, 0 < x < 54 (meaning -pi < u < pi)

The components I included are those which are greater than 0.001 (by eye)

I've not gotten around to checking how good the reproduction is. I'll get around to that later...

EDIT: Checked it.... it's very accurate (also attached)

Using Wolfram|Alpha, it gives this normalized distribution:
