Just to be sure the dice rolling routine was balanced, I've stored all the dice rolled this morning in Blue Max and this are the results:

1 105 16,48%
2 101 15,86%
3 109 17,11%
4 107 16,80%
5 112 17,58%
6 103 16,17%

As you can see the rolls are evenly distributed among the values.

Is this enough ?
Nick.


I think it is not a single user phenomenon. Many ACE (or old folks) report an uneven no. of 1 and 2 before. The statistics didn't give us an definite solution.

Could we see the results in more detail for example:

user with join in date less than 100
user with join in date between 101 to 300
user with join in date between 301 to 600
user with join in date larger than 601

And see if the result is even or not. Thx Nick for the investigation. coz i do think that the rnd() function is really not random at all.

P.


Of course the rnd() function is not 'random'. Programming 'randomly' is a contradiction in terms. Anyone with some number theory/discrete math/programming background of any type should know that. How could you possibly tell a human made logical device to do something "randomly". It's somewhat philosophical but it doesn't take a lot of thought to see the contradiction. You have to use some sort of algorithm to get a "random" number and thus it can never actually be random. But it works for what you need it to.

All that aside like any type of game or sport you remember when you think you got screwed. Sometimes I feel like I get screwed for making a great move after tailing someone and roll a one. It happens. But how many of us actually remember the 5's or 6's? Its just human nature to remember when we feel cheated. And that's more philosphical stuff but its true.

Anyone play poker? How many bad beat stories have you heard from other players versus the wins? Same sh!t different stick.

Good luck on your dice rolls all.
