A Long-Awaited Return

A Subtle Pattern in the Digits
The digit 3 linked both results, appearing in 322 and again in 301. Such overlaps are common in daily pairs, yet they remain useful markers for understanding how repetition clusters across short windows.
Combo Profile
As a digit pattern, 301 uses 3 distinct digits and a moderate spread from 0 to 3.
Why Droughts Matter
