Yes, just about everybody can beat that. And now they'll arrive in droves to do just that. Pandora's Box, opened once more. |

if you think about it, the only reason we notice the low rolls is because it ends the turn, if we roll a sucsess we carry on rolling which means that statisticly there is a growing chance of us rolling a 1 eventually.
1 in 6 rolls will be a 1 but if that 1 comes on the first roll not the 6th, it's 1 in 1 rolls. Still doesn't mean it's not 1 in 6 though, just that we didn't get to see the other 5.
logically enough we notice that more than when it comes on the 6th roll.
I quit fumbbl once because the RnG just isn't random, but about a couple of months later is came up in conversation with a friend who has a degree in maths and he put it like that, makes sence to me and allows me to take it on the chin a lot better than what i used to. |

"1 is the lonliest number that you'll ever know". I say we switch it up and make 6 always fail and 1 always succeed. 1 has been the scapegoat for too long. DOWN WITH THE 6'S! |

I've got an example for people to beat. Have a look at the 1st half of this game... We sucked so much I couldn't concentrate from laughing.

Seem to remember I had less than 30% luck at the end of the 1st half and my opponent had failed to pick up the ball on about 6 turns... |

I once played a game where I managed 1 die roll in the first half. It was in turn 8 naturally I failed the roll after that one to pick up the ball  |

While all this is true, I still think the java number generator has a suspicious tendency to reroll 1's. Especially if the reroll is automatic or invoked very quickly. If one waits for 5-10 seconds the chance of getting a different result seems much more likely.
No, I don't have research data for you. |

I know it's not much, but I failed 4 of my first 6 apo-rolls. At the time it felt unlucky... Especially the one where I failed to save a Mino from a SI, only to have my other Mino killed in the next turn. LoL... |
