Statistical Anomaly

CautionSin Wrote:Fair enough explanation. Now, this is why we don't "scroll burn" before we scroll, b/c it has no bearing on the future results, no matter how many u get in a row (streaks) or how many u fail (if i get bad a lot i hv to get good). I'm disappointed though, when I gave my dispute to other people, and when i gave it aloud, I had them questioning their commonly held rules on statistics.

Ever heard of "random number adjustments"? In old computer games you could adjust the random variables by timing it or pressing random buttons. Imagine the slot machine fraud in Ocean's 13. That's the technique people use in TAS (tool-assisted speedplay). People may believe something like that is possible which would explain the nonsense that is scroll burning (otori syo in japanese).

The success rate is determined by the server; unless you hack the server, you can't influence the outcome in anyway.
