I see what you mean [@NuttsnBolts], it's a good concept. Crazily enough, the RP Carmen was originally made for had an overabundance of males, though the gender ratio is starting to even out a little. Again, applying your understanding of time for sample sizes, things change, and that's what happened there.

[@Pair of Hearts] I see, that makes the most sense. I figured a newspaper ad would do too. Since Carmen was a recently freed felon who's making her journey to the US Naval Academy, it would make sense that she found the ad in the paper in her travels and decided to partake in the experiment because (-reasons not spoiled-).
