donut box pattern?

I get three for picking the right box too. I get one or two from picking the wrong one. ;)

You do, infact, get 3 from the right box except when you get 1 or 2.

I did something similar in response to previously posted hypotheses about “patterns” with the same result. So have others. Doesn’t matter. There are always going to be users who are certain that some sort of pattern exists. They’re like conspiracy theories. You can never stamp them out.

I did a 100 bonus play continuously and carried out a statistical analysis. The results showed that it is random

Show me the pie chart!!!

Show me some hard numbers and I’ll consider this, otherwise...

I’ve just heard far too many of these hypotheses and half of them contradict the other half.

Is most of the time a hard enough number ;) sorry it's not something I track or want to. Kinda something you'd have to figure out and very hard to articulate. It's less than a second and not something I can time easily either. Best I can tell you is I give a slight delay before I tap the right box - most of the time I get three - most as in large majority. Why right box? Easiest for me to tap since am right handed, am sure it could be done with other boxes.

ETA: this was based on a now deleted tip from addicts - they thought it had to do with lights flashing a certain way and recommended an elaborate way to get three. I tried that method and came up with my own hypothesis that it was timing related rather than as complex as the pattern they found.

It’s not that I doubt your sincerity, but humans are notoriously prone to detecting patterns where none exist. You can pooh-pooh statistics, but it’s an essential tool in just such cases.

Oh I don't pooh pooh stats at all - evidence based person here. Just a little lazy to grab the stats, and since the timing is so small I would highly doubt my accuracy for any results I gather. Basically time to tap would be less than or equal to my error margin for measuring the time. I'd need a script or app to measure for me somehow - too much work :)

There is a pattern with Pi? I never heard that one before.
From a programers stand point it would not make sense to assign values to the boxs base on the flashing lights or time to select a box. There are only 2 practical ways (programmatically) assign the values to all the boxes right away or assign a value to the selected box at the time of selection.

The only consistent donut pattern I notice is that I tend to eat the Honey Crullers first.

I too notice that it is more often in the right hand box. It's at least 50% of the time.

Nope. I simply don’t believe that this true. It’s certainly not true in my experience, nor has anyone who has actually gone through the trouble of tabulating outcomes confirmed it.
