Wow, Starhawk! Those are incredible exceptions! I've made a special notation on these in my list.

Just to be sure... you're posting only the exceptions and not all of the children, right? Approximately how many other children have you had that are not exceptional?

I'll be honest, these are so far off the mark, I even tried to see if they were Photoshopped, but I can see no evidence of it. Nothing personal, please be assured. I just have to be as certain as I can that I'm keeping my database clean and pure, and these exceptions are so incredible, I couldn't believe it without double checking!

I'm very interested in the tribe(s) in which these exceptions came from. You have been fortunate enough to have villagers at both extremes (very low and very high numbers). But it's even more fortunate that you have had so many exceptions! I'd like to know how old the tribe(s) are, how many babies, how many villagers in total are in the tribe(s) themselves, what hair colors do most of the other villagers in the tribe(s) have, and did you do any special breeding to get the low or high number villagers?

I'd like to know how these exceptional children came to be. This is precisely what so many people would love to know how to do — to get a child that is vastly different from the parents so they can bring back certain villagers that they haven't seen in a very long time (if ever).

Thank you so much for posting the pictures. I hope to hear more about their tribes. I'd love to figure out if there is some kind of mathematical equation that creates these children that we can reproduce or if it's truly just random which is completely out of our control.

I'd also love it if anyone happens to have the same exceptional child from the same parents that have been posted already. I am able to find duplicates of the normal children (average of the parents), but the exceptional children are so few that I have yet to find a duplication of them. If anyone ever happens to have a duplicate, I would dearly love to know it.

As a side note: I have to laugh at knowing that while I'm doing all of this to somewhat reverse engineer how the software is designed to create the children, those who wrote the software are watching me hypothesize while they know the true answer. it must be funny for them to watch me scramble to figure out how they coded the game! For me, figuring out the code (logic) is just one extra layer of enjoying the game.
