Thanks to Jop Schaap for analysing how lucky I was. See their report here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yrzp0z3r2u4dgistmtor1/Lucky_predictions_Jop_Schaap.pdf?rlkey=c0ctkocele9sso7kh46y73kcp&dl=0 If you'd like to see my spreadsheet, here it is. The percentages and values were all generated by some terrible python code I hand-wrote myself. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/e6wfyb9382gr6ihnvyp7z/Lucky_predictions_Matt-spreadsheet.xlsx?rlkey=95lj0l1c59meo1yrxq0hxjgol&dl=0 Thanks to Evan Harris for chatting about election stats with me and kindly recording a video.
