Thank you for taking the time to explain things!

> The margin of error is huge for 1, and 1 and 3 are within margins of error for the V8s, so my guess is that you ran them in the same order every time and the difference is just an artefact of being the first to run. You should wait for the page to settle down to start tests and try reordering or separating them.

You are absolutely right about the larger margin of error for 1 being artefact of it being the first one to run. In fact, the point I made about the difference between Entry 1 and Entry 3 no longer stands because the higher average (and error) is actually an effect of inflated times at the beginning.

I've learnt something new! Thank you! :)
