If I mine a 50 conc world with 1 mine then what do you think will happen ?
If I mine a 50 conc world with 5 mines then does the above effect change ?

1 mine at a conc of 50 in theory gives 0.5 kT per year.
Now is this rounded down, or do we get 1kT every two years ?
It turns out it is neither.
What you get is 0 or 1 kT per year that averages out to close to 0.5 per year.
So might get 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1.

This also applies to the second question.
You get a pattern of 2s and 3s with *an average* that is close to 2.5kT per year, but it never follows any regular pattern.

So any ideas why the part kT mined is following a random probability distribution ?
