it dpends how many characters differ when sorted.

in this case:

ECDHE-ECDSA-DES-CBC3-SHA -> ----3AABCCCCDDDEEEEHHSSS
                                   * *** ** 
ECDHE-ECDSA-3DES-EDE-SHA -> ----3AACCDDDDEEEEEEHHSSS

you can see (marked by *) that 6 characters don't match.

now 6 is a triangular number, but the length of the entire cipher suite is 24,
which isn't triangule (the closest is 21).

so they're only going to inter-operate on tuesdays.
