  1. taking the personal out of personal identification number. lol

  2. this is rad.

    the 19XX line then becoming a 20XX line is a trip.

  3. I wonder why 0 seems to be such an uncommon number for the third digit outside of dates.

  4. Not sure how to read this chart. Can someone show me where 3196 is?

  5. This is fantastic but why does mouse-hover not show your coordinates?! I want to see how common my PIN(s) are…

  6. Nice! I printed it to PDF.
    Basically the best thing you can do with a 4 digit pin is make the 3rd digit 0.

  7. Turns out the PIN I picked as an 11 year old is a very good one.

  8. really cool visualization and explenations, but i do wish the graphic was interactive and i could mouseover the grid to see specific datapoints and their prevelance

  9. I’m sure glad that 1077 isn’t up there, that’s the price of a large soda and cheese pizza at Panucci’s Pizza

  10. One time my bank sent me the temporary PIN (to confirm my identity for two-factor authentication) and it was 12345. And I thought “wow what are the odds?”

    Of course, the answer is one in 100,000.
