Kʼakʼupakal
Kʼakʼupakal, or possibly Kʼakʼupakal Kʼawiil (fl. c. 869–890) was a ruler or high-ranking officeholder at the pre-Columbian Maya site of Chichen Itza, during the latter half of the 9th century CE. The name of this ruler, alternatively written Kʼahkʼupakal, Kʼakʼ Upakal or Kʼakʼ-u-pakal, is the most widely mentioned personal name in the surviving Maya inscriptions at Chichen Itza,[1] and also appears on monumental inscriptions at other Yucatán Peninsula sites such as Uxmal. This 9th-century personage may also be the same individual with this name mentioned in some later ethnohistorical sources, such as the books of Chilam Balam.

gollark: Interesting. I was considering it binomial-distributed-ly, in which case I believe it does in fact vary with N.
gollark: Maybe I should try to make a list of "definitely wrong guesses" as well as my "hopefully right guesses".
gollark: Since it does actually depend on the round.
gollark: I don't know if LyricLy calculated right, though.
gollark: Indeed. You would actually need to be quite competent at guessing to consistently guess everything wrong.
