Well, there's an even number of players and an even number of letters. Once you've hit the 13th round, they start repeating letters. So if they alternate, all the Cons will have even letter (B, D, F, etc) initials and call odd letters. Prose have odd letter (A, C, E, ...) initials and call even.
-
Does the circle alternate between teams? If so...
Cons: Taylor, Brown, Jenkins, Babcock, Randolph, Flynn, Timmons, Lucas, Peters
Prose: Miller, Gerson, Adams, Carver, Smith, Sawyer, Myers, Morton, Young -
Dick Brown
Bill Harris
Carl Jones
Al Smith?

I've always struggled with this kind of probability but...
If you pull a card from each deck, the odds of a match are 1/52. Doesn't that mean that out of 52 attempts, there should be an average of 1 match?
-
I see... I have a tendency to switch numbers in my head. All the right digits were there!
-
Possibly both typos!
(6C3 = 20) x (12C6 = 924) = 18,480
(6C4 = 15) x (12C5 = 792) = 11,880
(6C5 = 6) x (12C4 = 495) = 2,790
(6C6 = 1) x (12C3 = 220) = 220
33,370 -
Perhaps coincidence
All the names are 8 letters so far...

Well, I seem to have done some weird math when adding equilateral. New result including equilateral:
23/72
I think rocdocmac and I agree on the figure including equilateral now but we seem to have diverged on the other figure...

A photo album or stamp collection?

Excluding equilateral triangles
2/9

A human left just before midnight?

Well when you put it like that...
The Xth root of X with the "1." removed. Starting with X=3 and adding each step.

Jack in the box?

A visual approach.
You can represent the whole trip as a rectangle (or circle or other shape) and divide it into 5ths. Shade in sections as you go. You'll have to do a little more dividing for the 3rd and 4th hours but those numbers work out pretty well.
Hour 1: 3/5 left (2 of 5 sections gone)
Hour 2: 2/5 left (1 of 3 sections gone)
Hour 3: split the 2 remaining sections in half so you have 4 sections, each 1/10 of the total. 3/10 left (1 of 4 sections gone)
Hour 4: split in half again giving 6 sections, each 1/20 of the whole. 3/20 left (1 of 6 sections gone).
(3/20)x = 20 miles
Solve for x.
This obviously wouldn't work well with numbers that aren't so nice but I learn better with pictures.

I'm curious. All I got is the second one looks like the square root of 2.
-
You figured it "ou"?
Lol. Just caught on to Captain Ed's hint. Was wondering why that wording was nagging at me... If you didn't get it, I was going to recommend listening to the song Message in a Bottle. That ending aught to do it.

"language" in quotes. Not exactly a language but something most people probably know at least 2 letters of. Or probably exactly 2 letters if they're like me.
-
Seems pretty obscure. Gave up and found it using Google. But on the other hand,
You may have just inspired me to learn more of the "language" beyond S and O. So thanks for that.

A couple assumptions:
"We didn't all break 100." includes the possibility that no one did.
"Bill placed between Ed and Jim" means directly between.
Ed, Bill Tom, Jim
