Abstract
We confirm the speculation that the distribution of -hooks among unrestricted integer partitions essentially descends to self-conjugate partitions. Namely, we prove that the number of hooks of length among the size self-conjugate partitions is asymptotically normally distributed with mean and variance where if is odd, and is 0 otherwise.
