> Correct Horse Battery Staple 4 lg(100000) = 33

I think you mean 66. More realistically, 52 for Diceware's 7776-word dictionaries, or 44 for XKCD's 2000 common words.




Yep, I somehow internalized that there were 100,000 words (on reflection, I couldn't name a tenth of that in one sitting), but also halved the result, and the error canceled out a bit. Terrible.
