    Lightbulb Nail bag chaos theory

    Have you ever noticed when you have an odd nail in your tool bag it always seems to be the one that you pull out, even though it is vastly outnumbered by the ones you really want? Well I have a theory! If I paint the lotto numbers on a handfull of nails and pull them out from the nail bag, whilst up a ladder on one leg, balancing a BIG piece of timber then by rights the last nails in the bag should be the right ones.
    I'll try it this week and next week I hope to be gloating about some big tools purchases.

    Your theory seems completely valid to me.

    The numbers you pull out will be the wrong ones.

    Keep pulling them out till you only have 6 left ..They will be the ones you need..
