Actually it's the opposite, the more fails you get in the row the longer it is before one passes.:f6:
Here's my 60% scrolling over 150 scrolls, recorded in order.

71% worked 29% failed - .6% err
Of the 43 failures, 12 were followed by another failure (72% worked 28% failed - 2.5% err). Of the 12 times 2 failed in a row, 3 were followed by another failure (75% work 25% failed - 8% err). Of the 3 times 3 failed in a row, 1 was followed by another failure (66% worked 33% failed - 33% err).
The only thing you can say with confidence is that I have an unusually high chance of 60%s working. The number that have failed stayed consistently at 30% no matter how many previously worked.
