Abstract
We compare v2/{\epsilon}2 and v3/{\epsilon}3 from single-shot and event-by-event (2+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations and discuss the validity of using single-shot calculations as substitutes for event-by-event calculations. Further we present a proof- of-concept calculation demonstrating that v2 and v3 together can be used to strongly reduce initial condition ambiguities.
