Out of the usual one, two or three donut bonus, I got ELEVEN single donut "worst prizes" in a row. The odds of this happening by chance if there were truly a fair one-in-three shot are 1/3^11, or about one in 177,147. Not only that, but this keeps happening REPEATEDLY - not quite so many in a row, but almost always NOT the one-in-three chance you would expect.Thoughts?

Who cares? Its not taking money out of my wallet, its a game.

I've had some bad times, lived through some sad timesBut this time your hurting won't heal...

11? Wow, that is bad luck! Try punching the wall, that always make me feel better.

And a 16 seed will never beat a 1....

I’ve had that happen. It’s bad luck. I’ve also had it happen the other way - a streak of nine or ten three bonuts wins on the first click.

There is DEFINITELY some funny business going on with donut bonus selections.

IOW no matter which one you tap first, it will show what all 3 are.

:lol Yep. The idea that if only I'd picked a different box I would've got the 3 donuts is hard to shake.

Please, not another one of these threads again. To make a long story short, and after many rounds of bonuts, nobody has been able to find a pattern. It truely does seem to be random.

213

321

With only six possible outcomes, unusual patterns like you're witnessing are also more likely, to the point it seems unlikely. But if it's still random in the largest sample set, then it's just interesting visuals.

CONSIDER ALSO THIS: of the six numbers listed above,

THAT NUMBER IS DETERMINED BEFORE YOU SELECT ANY BOX. So your choice of box is irrelevant. The GUI of selecting boxes is irrelevant. If the number 213 was the number then any box you choose will have 2, and whichever you choose next will have one.

Are we sure about this one? Sounds like conspiracy to me.

Thoughts?

I read that as 7^11.....

Unfortunately eleven isn't enough of a sample size. Patterns of small groups can appear to confirm any suspicion. You'll need a larger sample.
