Not sure what your point was, but at least you made yourself sound smart.

I think most people would consider the 100% instant kill rate (now 15 for 15) to be a remarkable coincidence, but if you want to argue that it is expected behavior, be my guest.


I will put it differently. Our brain is made to recognise patterns. It will see patterns everywhere, even where there are none.

The only real statistical anomaly would be if someone were able to predict the outcome of die rolls in a game (or series of games) above and beyond what would be expected by statistics. Such as, for example: "the z-value of my die rolls in this specific future set of games will be lower than -3.5" (see http://www.youplay.it/play/forum_showmessage.asp?msgid=39538 for the z-value).

This has never happened to date.

Inability to do so means that the random number generator is good for all practical purposes.
