Yes Chris, I quite agree but I don't know what to do about it.
My program makes a list of days and adds quakes, moon phases and perigees. The odds are the number of each element times the days covered divided by the total number of days. Moon phases have a 36 hour window (+/-) so get 3 days each. Perigees get two days total.
The expected number of hits is number of quakes times odds.
Mag 6+ quakes get the expected number of hits. Mag 5 quakes get too few. It's easily seen looking at the big table.
