In naturally ocurring data sets the leading digit of a number is most likely to be low.
There is an inverse power relationship between how common the lowest symbol is to the highest symbol.
For example the leading digit has a 30% chance to be 1, but a 5% chance to be 9.
If all symbols were uniformly distributed then they have an ~11% chance to be present.
