My buddy's divorce is getting really technical. The judge awarded his ex-wife 50% of all his passwords.

She only gets the vowels.

Are 50% of letters by usage vowels?

Interesting question. My guess is more like 36% but I'm feeling too lazy to Google it

Quick maths
12.7 + 8.2 + 7.5 +7.0 + 2.8 = 38.2
But it's not necessarily true that passwords match regular usage.

Good point, passwords would contain numbers and symbols too. Maybe numbers+symbols+vowels=consonants

Oh look, it's the joke analytics and fact checking committee!!

No no. We're just trainees. The real Committee only evaluates successful jokes.

" okay." Goes home, sends her passwords, and immediately changes them all. He followed the judge's order to the letter.

I think the point is that he only gets the consonants.
NewGuy-1964@reddit
So, in other words, no one has the passwords. Cuz she has all the vowels, and he has all the consonants. So what this stupid judge did is tell them they can't have any of it. Probably siphoned it all off into his own account.

Well, to bad for him. It should be easy to get rest of the password by wordlist or even bruteforce
