My original idea did not have this problem. Besides, for drawing 5 chits
the difference in the probabilities of any one result is on the order
of 10E-9 (I could be wrong, my stats is a bit rusty...
(114!)(5!)/(119!) - 1/119^5 is what I used, for those who will check)

But neither is it such a _bad_ idea. It just comes down to personal
preference. For the record, I haven't had a chance to try my chart out
in a game. Now that it has stirred up such debate, I think that I will
_have_ to try it out for a few games!
