Benford’s law, also called the first-digit law, states that in lists
of numbers from many (but not all) real-life sources of data, the
leading digit is distributed in a specific, non-uniform way. According
to this law, the first digit is 1 almost one third of the time, and
larger digits occur as the leading digit with lower and lower
frequency, to the point where 9 as a first digit occurs less than one
time in twenty. (via @cyberu)
