Gambler's Fallacy - future probabilities are not altered by past events. If I flip a coin, for example, does the fact that it landed on heads the last 4 times mean that it has a higher chance of landing tails the next flip? No, the probability of either event is still 50%. "
The fact is that this guy was flipping said coin, in this case the coin of injury/death, many more times than the typical person.  It's more likely the guy that luges everyday could possibly meet his death much earlier than me, who sits at a desk all day.

I think the boredom might come from the dialogue.  If you don't enjoy dialogue driven series then it might be a bit harder to get through.  There's action throughout, but the scenes are typically short and intense.  This series is amazingly deep as far as believable  character interaction goes, and you really get a feeling for who each character is and the way they grow and change throughout the series.

Finished the entire series and it is amazing.  Calling it a cop drama is a bit narrow, as the topics span a wide range as the series progresses through its seasons.  I recommend it to all my friends.

That's the basic idea anyway.  Not exactly the prettiest way, but should get the job done.

private boolean hasChanged = false;
 
public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent e){
        
if(!hasChanged)
{    
     this.setFillColor(_changedColor); 
     hasChanged = true;

else
{    
     this.setFillColor(_mainColor);         
     hasChanged = false;
}  
    }

You need a boolean to see if the color has changed, and change it if true, else change it back and reset your boolean.  Your changing the color once with your code, but you have no way to change it back:
 
if(colorChanged)
     this.SetColor(SomeColor)
else
    this.SetColor(OtherColor)

So when you click in the Ellipse it's changing color or nothing is occurring?
