Usually, having "perfect" data is a desirable state. But this is ridiculous.
Do you think that the TA will believe that the results truly are coincidental that way (i.e. I didn't engineer the data) if I say it often enough in my lab report?

How many times did you do the titration? Shouldn't you also include the std.dev.

To Mitch: One titration per substance only, mainly because the point of the lab is to do the pH calculations. Thus, in this case, there's no standard deviation worth talking about, and the results cannot be trusted implicitly. Still...unsettling coincidence.
Thanks for the pointer though; I didn't even think about standard deviation.
