Not to be blasphemous, but didn’t xkcd already do such a statistic? It might be outdated by now of course. (If “outdated” means anything to you peeps…)

Interesting! People seem to get quite tired after 6 ‘a’s… but pick up a second wind for that 8th one! After that, only the dedicated survive.

Dedicated, or bored and curious. ...I couldn't help myself.

Now if you were dedicated, you would make a chart, with number of hits vs. number of “a”s.
