The Impossibility of Double Gallows

[ChenZheChina]

How big the distance ( chars ) between any two gallows is can be graphically represented. Overall, the curve drops evenly. For the entire VMS it looks like this:

Hi bi3mw,

Thank you for the amazing chart!

May I ask you what do you mean by “between any two gallows”?

For example, we have “choky.chol.cTholShol.okal” on f1v.

Question 1, do you count three pairs (k-T, T-k and k-k), or two pairs (k-T and T-k)?

Question 2, when counting distance, do you consider cTh as one gallow, or T as one gallow (distance +1 because of c and h)?

Question 3, in the downloadable sheet file, I saw the maximum distance is 91. How do you get this?
