] Remark In the case d - 2 the subcritical schema substitutes trees in a list, leading to a geometric distribution.
If one assumes that the slices are distributed according to the geometric distribution which has mean and variance both equal to 26, then the standard deviation of the average slice size has a standard deviation of 26/ [square root of (129529)] = 26/360 = 0.
