1. Two prime races followed at every integer up to a hundred million

   Primes other than $2$ fall into two classes modulo $4$, congruent to $1$ or to $3$, equally common in the long run, yet the class of $3$ is almost always ahead: Chebyshev's bias. Following the race exactly at every integer $x \le 10^8$, the class of $1$ first leads at x = 26861, and leads at only 30624 of the hundred million integers, in 128 stretches, none after x = 12382326. Weighting each $x$ by $1/x$, the class of $1$ leads on a share 0.00040587 of the race, about a tenth of the limiting share Rubinstein and Sarnak (1994) computed under two standard hypotheses, so the race is still short of its limiting behavior this far out. Modulo $3$, primes congruent to $2$ lead those congruent to $1$ strictly at every $x$ from $2$ to $10^8$, consistent with the first reversal Bays and Hudson (1978) found near $6.1 \times 10^{11}$.

3. How far four ways of adding a million doubles land from the correctly rounded sum

   Adding floating-point numbers one after another loses a little at each step, and how much depends on the order of the additions. For sums of up to a million doubles, drawn uniformly from $[0, 1)$ and from $[-1, 1)$, this study measures how far four common methods land from the correctly rounded sum, in units in the last place (ulps). Adding left to right, the error averages 196.86 ulps for a million positive values and grows with their number $n$ as about $n^{\alpha}$ with fitted $\alpha$ = 0.545, close to the square root that independent rounding errors predict. Pairwise summation stays within 2 ulps at every length. Kahan's and Neumaier's compensated sums return the correctly rounded sum in all 400 draws, including mixed-sign sums that nearly cancel. Every value is reproducible exactly, on any machine and Python version.

4. Exact distributions of longest increasing subsequences certify finite-n convergence toward the Tracy-Widom limit

   What are the exact finite-sample distributions of longest increasing subsequence lengths in random permutations, and how rapidly do their moments approach the limiting Tracy-Widom law? We compute the exact distribution of longest increasing subsequence lengths for every sample size up to 50 using the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence and the hook-length formula. At the largest sample size, the exact expected length is 11.309389 with variance 1.94134, corresponding to a normalized centered mean of -1.475863 and normalized variance of 0.526961. Across all 50 sample sizes, the expected length remains strictly below two times the square root of the sample size, with maximum ratio 0.799695. Exhaustive enumeration via patience sorting independently confirms every distribution count across 409113 permutations.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: For uniformly random permutations of size n from 1 through 50, the exact distribution of longest increasing subsequence lengths computed via the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence yields an expected length of 11.309389 at n=50, with all expected lengths strictly bounded below 2*sqrt(n).

5. Independent verification of Collatz delay records up to ten million

   This bundle re-computes the Collatz total stopping time (delay) for every integer from 10000000 down through one, covering the closed interval of the first ten million positive integers, and extracts the delay-record sequence: each n whose delay strictly exceeds that of every smaller positive integer. The enumeration produces 54 records, ending at n=8400511 with delay 685. These values agree with the classical delay-record table of Leavens and Vermeulen as maintained in the public Collatz record lists on this range. The computation is deterministic, uses only integer arithmetic, and is re-run by verifiers from code/compute_delays.py.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: An independent enumeration of Collatz total-stopping-time delay records for all n in 1..10000000 yields exactly 54 records, the last being n=8400511 with delay 685, matching the published Leavens–Vermeulen / Roosendaal delay-record table on this range.

6. Long-term recovery in PRINCIPLE: exact missing-response bounds and sign-reversal thresholds

   Published aggregate follow-up tables can support a transparent sensitivity calculation without reconstructing participant records or fitting the original trial model. We examined 6 long-term recovery rows from PRINCIPLE, keeping the primary and larger sensitivity cohorts separate. For the primary six-month row, the respondent-only treatment-minus-control recovery difference is 3.071 percentage points. Unrestricted binary completion of unavailable responses gives a range from -16.54 to 21.764 percentage points, whereas assigning both arms any common missing-response recovery rate gives a positive range from 2.329 to 2.896 percentage points. These are conditional bounds, not confidence intervals. They quantify how assumptions affect a crude contrast and do not identify a clinical treatment effect.

   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In six published PRINCIPLE long-term recovery rows, unrestricted binary completion bounds permit either sign of the crude recovery contrast, every common missing-response recovery rate preserves a positive contrast, and at six months in the primary cohort a missing-treatment recovery rate 13.206 percentage points below the respondent-control anchor erases that contrast, conditional on the stated completion model.

7. Guaranteed income's mental-health benefit is not robust across randomized trials, and employment does not fall in its first year

   Guaranteed income, regular cash with no conditions, has been tested in many American cities and in national pilots, and its advocates expect it to improve mental health without reducing work. We pre-registered a meta-analysis of randomized trials of flat, unconditional cash in high-income countries, searching databases, registries, and the reports most pilots publish outside journals; 62 trials were eligible and 53 had results. About a year into payments, mental health was better in the cash arms by 0.09 standard deviations (CI 0.041 to 0.139) across 34 comparisons in a random-effects model, but the common-effect estimate, which weights the largest trials most, was -0.002 (-0.023 to 0.018), and smaller trials reported larger effects. Employment changed by 0.599 percentage points (-2.533 to 3.731), and the mental-health effect did not fade during payments. Any mental-health benefit of guaranteed income is small and confirmed only in small trials, and about a year in it does not detectably reduce employment.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In 34 comparisons from 32 randomized trials of recurring unconditional cash in high-income countries (16,834 people analysed), mental health about 12 months into payments was better in the cash arms by a pooled standardized mean difference of 0.090 (95% CI 0.041 to 0.139; Holm-corrected p = 0.002) in the pre-registered random-effects model, but the pre-registered robustness checks failed: the common-effect estimate, which weights the largest trials most, was -0.002 (-0.023 to 0.018), the estimate among the 6 comparisons that kept at least 60% of those randomized was 0.043 (-0.077 to 0.163), and smaller comparisons reported larger effects (Egger's regression slope 1.54, 95% CI 0.75 to 2.33; p < 0.001).
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In 14 comparisons from 13 randomized trials of recurring unconditional cash (9,623 people surveyed, and 175,222 in Finland's employment registers), the share of people employed about 12 months into payments did not detectably change: +0.60 percentage points (95% CI -2.53 to 3.73; Holm-corrected p = 1.000), an interval that rules out a reduction larger than 2.53 points; counting the share employed full-time where a trial printed no share employed at all, the change over 31 comparisons was +1.13 points (-1.14 to 3.40).
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In 19 comparisons of recurring unconditional cash with mental-health estimates at two waves during payments a mean of 11.7 months apart, the effect on mental health did not fade while payments continued: the pooled change from the earliest to the latest wave was 0.000 standard deviations (95% CI -0.049 to 0.048; Holm-corrected p = 1.000), the effects at the two waves being 0.048 and 0.061; across every wave during payments of 34 comparisons, the effect changed by +0.015 standard deviations per year (-0.034 to 0.064).

8. Unknown participant overlap cannot reverse four composite-event point estimates in a frozen antidepressant trial dataset

   Can unknown overlap between adverse-event terms change the direction of published composite-event estimates? We reconstructed the frozen registry comparisons and calculated every possible range of distinct affected participants consistent with the selected term counts. For adult serious suicidal behaviour, the resulting Mantel–Haenszel risk-ratio bounds are 1.712 to 2.1962; for adult serious suicidality, 1.2154 to 1.8476. The corresponding pediatric bounds are 1.0045 to 1.4773 and 1.8144 to 2.8091. All remain above the null. Unknown overlap therefore changes the magnitude but cannot reverse these fixed-data point estimates under the source's cohort and outcome definitions. These are identification bounds, not confidence intervals or estimates of causal treatment effects.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the frozen antidepressant registry dataset, conditional on source cohort selection, denominators, term coding, and absent-term imputation, sharp Mantel-Haenszel risk-ratio bounds relative to selected within-group event-count marginals are 1.7120261533 to 2.1961879882 for adult serious suicidal behaviour, 1.2154409158 to 1.8475901940 for adult serious suicidality, 1.0045047792 to 1.4773331886 for pediatric serious behaviour, and 1.8144436696 to 2.8090979871 for pediatric serious suicidality. Thus unknown participant overlap alone cannot reverse the direction of these fixed-data point estimates; these are not confidence intervals or causal treatment effects.

9. Mass azithromycin lowers child deaths when all young children are treated, but not when only infants are

   The World Health Organization's 2020 guideline recommended giving mass azithromycin, which lowers child mortality in high-mortality settings of sub-Saharan Africa, only to infants, to limit antibiotic resistance; no trial had then tested that. Under a pre-registered plan we pooled every randomized trial by whom it treated. Treating all children under five lowered their mortality by 14.1% (CI 7.4% to 20.3%), consistently across trials. In the three trials that treated only infants, infant mortality was not detectably lower (rate ratio 0.971, CI 0.867 to 1.086), an interval that excludes the effect of treating all children. Infants had lower mortality when all children were treated, though a between-trial comparison of the two strategies fell short of significance, and giving azithromycin to individual infants at clinic visits showed no effect. The infant-only approach has not lowered mortality in any trial that tested it; treating all children under five has.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In 5 placebo-controlled comparisons from 3 cluster-randomized trials (MORDOR in Niger, Malawi and Tanzania; AVENIR in Niger; CHAT in Burkina Faso), twice-yearly mass azithromycin to every child 1 to 59 months old lowered mortality among children 1 to 59 months by 14.1% (rate ratio 0.859, 95% CI 0.797 to 0.926; Holm-corrected p = 0.015; I² = 0%), and the reduction held with a common-effect model (0.859, 0.813 to 0.908) and with any one comparison left out (largest p = 0.044).
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the 3 cluster-randomized trials that gave azithromycin twice a year to infants 1 to 11 months old only, the approach the World Health Organization recommended in 2020 (AVENIR's infant arm in Niger, LAKANA in Mali, MIRAMA in Burkina Faso), infant mortality was not detectably lower than with placebo (rate ratio 0.971, 95% CI 0.867 to 1.086; p = 0.370), an interval that rules out a reduction larger than 13.3% and so excludes the 14.1% reduction seen when all children 1 to 59 months were treated; the estimate stayed near 1 with LAKANA's four-times-yearly arm instead (0.948, 0.856 to 1.050), without MIRAMA (0.963, 0.656 to 1.413), and with the 2 individually randomized infant trials added (0.969, 0.881 to 1.066).
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Infant mortality was lower when all children 1 to 59 months were treated (rate ratio 0.823, 95% CI 0.707 to 0.958; 3 comparisons) than when only infants were (0.971), but the pre-registered meta-regression comparing the two strategies across trials did not establish a difference (ratio of rate ratios 1.187, 95% CI 0.974 to 1.447; p = 0.074; Holm-corrected p = 0.148); AVENIR's within-trial contrast of its all-children arm against its infant arm, estimated after registration from the two arms' printed mortality rates, was 0.830 (0.717 to 0.959).

10. Labor induction jumps at maternal age 40, and at 35 with a failed falsification check, without cesarean or newborn changes

    Turning 35, and again turning 40, moves a pregnancy into the "advanced maternal age" category, which carries more surveillance and more advice to deliver early. Using every US singleton first birth at term from 2016 to 2024, we compared mothers just below and just above each age with a preregistered regression discontinuity, using confidence intervals that stay valid when age is recorded in whole years. Labor induction jumps by 1.19 percentage points at 35 (honest 95% CI 0.7 to 1.68). The preregistered verdict is inconclusive, because the share of first births also jumps at 35, by 0.4 points. At 40, induction jumps by 2.86 points (2.05 to 3.67), and that secondary test meets its confirm rule. Delivery at 39 weeks rises at both ages. Cesarean delivery, NICU admission, low Apgar scores, severe maternal morbidity and term stillbirth show no jump at either age. The label appears to move delivery timing without changing these measured outcomes.

11. Capacity and idle power limit assigned carbon reductions from daily batch scheduling

    How much does scheduling a daily batch by historical grid intensity help when computing capacity and idle power are explicit? We evaluate seasonal clock-time profiles trained on 2023 public Great Britain data, with equal work and equal energy in every comparison. At 50% utilization, assigned carbon falls by 11.63% in 2024 and 12.81% in 2025 relative to uniform processing. Setting idle power to 50% of maximum power reduces these advantages to 3.88% and 4.27%. Some dates have higher assigned carbon after shifting. These results describe a fixed historical workload benchmark and an accounting signal; they do not measure avoided emissions.
