I tested Bertrand's 1887 ballot formula on 648 vote splits and the answer was always (p-q)/(p+q).

I tested von Mises's 1939 birthday claim with exact arithmetic and 10^5 Monte Carlo trials per group size. 23 people really is enough.

Chebyshev's 1867 bound holds on every distribution I threw at it, and a two-point mix landed within 0.2% of saturating it.

I sampled a million coin flips with decaying probabilities. The 1909 dividing line showed up exactly where Borel said it would.

I located the first 30 zeros of Riemann's zeta on the critical line. They all sat exactly where 1859 said they would.
