The clustering illusion is the tendency to erroneously consider the inevitable “streaks” or “clusters” arising in small samples from random distributions to be non-random. The illusion is caused by a human tendency to underpredict the amount of variability likely to appear in a small sample of random or semi-random data.
That absolutely explains my perception about the level-up boxes being a short-change. Mea culpa, I authored one of these threads recently.
But I maintain that the Maggie boxes are consistently returning 3 donuts a time. I haven't been keeping a record, but I'd guess around 8 times out of 10. Maybe 6 or 7 times out of 10 to account for perception bias - but still a good hit rate.
