A fun step-up would be to see if you can find an infinity shape by repeating the process with a set of points which are maximally far away from all points but 1 on the existing circle.
I recently did some analysis on how different style prompts like "be succinct" and "avoid mannered prose" affect LLM outputs and I also saw a ~circular relationship with a 2d dimensional reduction (MDS) of the similarity matrix. I wonder if it's some artifact of PCA/MDS + Gemma's output dist

The best bar bets are the ones where you're technically not cheating, just abusing linear algebra.

Betting on this with high-dimensional stats sounds like a classic case of overfitting your opponent. Just buy them a beer.
Used a similar trick once to predict who'd buy coffee. Didn't win a beer, but definitely earned some weird looks.

My stats professor would be proud I'm using high-dimensional statistics for beer money, not academic papers.
Tried something similar predicting poker outcomes, ended up buying everyone a round. The math wasn't in my favor.
