A friend is having a baby shower, and you’re helping with organizing the event. You’d like to make a banner, but nothing says it quite right, but you find a Make Your Own Banner kit at the store! This kit contains the alphabet, with each letter occuring n-times, based on the frequency of that letter in English text. Will this kit, what phrases can you create? Will it work for the party?
The number of any given letter is based on the frequency of that letter; in English, ‘e’ occurs often, so we get four:
(def four-each [\a \e \f \i \o])
(def three-each [\c \d \g \h \l \n \r \s \t])
(def two-each [\b \j \k \m \p \u \v \w \y \z])
(def one-each [\q \x])(There were also 6 “bow joiners” - shaped like a bow, as might be placed on a gift - to act as space-characters between words.)
