What are the odds of getting specific dubs? Because I keep getting 7's and it's starting to fuck up my mind.
>>
>>8167353
1/100
>>
>>8167356
not quite.
probability of singles = 9/10
probability of dubs = 9/100
probability of trips = 9/1000 etc.

in the dubs category, the chances are spread between 10 possibilities (one for each digit).
So the chance of obtaining the string "X77" where X is not 7 is 9/1000.

thanks, fuck this shit, it's out of control, I know I'm suffering from confirmation bias but I just keep getting them, and they're always at the bottom of a refreshed thread. It's been happening for weeks. I just got them twice in a row as well.

Trips are a special case of dubs.
>>
>>8167373
TWICE IN A FUCKING ROW????
GEE, WITH THOSE ODDS YOU COULD VERY WELL WIN A COIN TOSS M8
>>
>>8167379
no, I separated them
should have said "pure dubs", "pure trips" and so on.
>>
>>8167373
and bots do it all the time.
You know why?
Because they are generated based on a set of rules one of which is server local time.

How the fuck is singles 9/10?

singles are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 are all possible thus singles equal 100% of your first digit being a number

dubs are 00,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99 or 10 sets out of 100 therefore there is a 10% chance of getting dubs

Trips have the same idea 000,111,222,333,444,555,666,777,888,999 10 cases out of 1,000 chances making it a 1% chance

for quads 0.1%, for quints 0.01%

Now just for specific numbers lets call whatever number (0-9) X, now for number X to occur there is a 1/10^n power n being the number of digits

So lets say you wanted to be the devil with 6 trips

well 1/10^n = 1/10^3 = 1/1000 = 0.001% chance

Disregard that I didn't fully read your post and forgot to take it off my response.

imagine looking at all the last two digits.
10 of them are at least dubs (meaning potentially trips, quads etc, we don't care for now): 00, 11, 22,..., 99
All the others are guaranteed pure singles.
So 90 out of the 100 possibilities are pure singles, which is 9/10.

Now, imagine D is the probability for dubs.
It's easy to see that the probability for trips is D/10.
That of quads is 10 times less (D/100) and so on.

Therefore the probability of dubs+trips+quads+... is the probability of NON-pure-singles, or 1/10.

But it is also equal to D+D/10+D/100+D/1000+... (geometric series), which sums up to 10D/9.


On one side, we have 1/10 (probability of non-pure-singles), and on the other, we have 10D/9 (sum of probability of pure dubs, pure trips, pure quads, etc).

By equating them, we get the probability of dubs D = 9/100.
And we deduce the probability of trips, quads and so on by dividing by 10 each time.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's literally 0.9999999... = 1 applied to "getting".
