donut box pattern?

Just to clarify, mine is an observation that is entirely possible to be false as I haven't verified. I've just hit it enough times that I *think* there is a possibility i.e. an unproven and untested hypothesis. It's still possible that I'm quite lucky or since I don't track it that I'm mistaken about the true number of times I hit it.

From another poster, the easiest solution from a programming standpoint is to have it determined randomly. This does make the most sense.

I'm still curious about why I tend to get 3 so often though. Although I have to admit it's not 100% reliable so if my theory that it's timing or somehow linked to the state of the lights could be explained by both human error or that my theory is false.

I have the same experience that you do, nissa. I realize that I may be biased but it does seem to hit 3 more often than not on the right box when quickly tapping after it appears. I am too lazy to track it though.

It happens enough to make me wonder but not enough to convince me yet. But the fact that someone else described exactly what I was seeing makes me wonder some more. I will need some data I am convinced though. Maybe I will track it sometime.

There's no patten its just random so If your not happy with getting free donuts from these boxes then why not just buy them instead.

no pattern, but think it's timing related. I tend to get three by picking the right box but am sure it doesn't matter which box. Just my thoughts from hours of farming.

Some time back I kept a excel list of which box the 3 donuts was in from 1000 sets and it came out roughly the same for each slot and I could see no pattern in which box it would appear in, although I suppose that if I tracked it over several million selections over many years then maybe a pattern would appear.

They wouldnt read it and would still start another new thread about it. This would be the second one this week for this particular dead horse.

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.

Yes, I tried that flashing lights thing some time back. It worked for a while, then it didn’t.
Also, I finally gave up the Where’s Maggie? Game because it’s so hard for me to resist guessing more than once and that’s too expensive to do (also the end-of-event bonus donuts).

It's like Pi. There's a pattern but it's too long for a human to keep up with it.
