Combo Profile
The digits in 939 cover a wide range (3 to 9) with a repeated digit.
Why Droughts Matter
Droughts do not indicate what will happen next - they simply document what has already occurred. Their value lies in measuring distribution over long horizons and identifying when a combination performs far above or below its expected appearance rate.
