A former employer of mine had developed a theory he called the "50:50:90 Rule", saying that if there are two ways of doing something, you'll guess wrong 90% of the time. (It was most commonly demonstrated when hooking up hydraulic hoses) I'm no mathematician, but I think this situation would demonstrate the correlary henceforth known as the "25:25:25:25:99.9 Rule"
