Yearbook RNG system acting suspicious

So Im going through the yearbook trying to weed out all the items that appear in the gold box as well. When I find one out of the five possible choices it says I have a 20% chance of selecting it. However, on the past 13 rolls, I only get the item that appears in the gold box after I get 3 of the 5 items. Has something similar happend to anyone else because its suppose to be 20% chance of randomly selecting one but it seems fixed.
  • There are only 6 possible outcomes the from pick a box bonuts rounds, and I'm 99% sure it doesn't recall past selections and apply a devious AI to mess you up.
    I'd say the same applies to a misery box with let's say ten items - it doesn't know what you'd prefer or if you really don't want a handful of the prizes. It just picks a number and that's what you get.

    I think there is a law that the actual % has to be shown. This in theory should prevent rigged lotteries (Wheel of Chance, I'm looking you) but that doesn't mean you're wrong
  • I dont trust ANY of the "randomess" of online games. In fact, I think the bonus donut boxes are predetermined. As in, if the game wants you to have 3 donuts only after your 3rd selection, that's what It will be regardless of which boxes you choose first and second

    Consider this: when a new bonus donut round comes on the screen, which is the case:

    a. The quantity of donuts in each box is pre-determined before you tap EACH of them.
    OR
    b. The quantity of donuts you will receive for your first, second, and third taps are pre-determined before you tap ANY of them.

    In a) let's say you tap the left box first. If it was assign value=3, you get 3 donuts and done

    But in b), if the randomizer has determined that you will not get 3 donuts until your 3rd tap, it doesnt matter which boxes you tap, you're still going to have to tap all 3 to be rewarded 3 donuts.

    Both methods are fully random, but with 'a' the odds are affected by our choice, and with 'b' they are not; the game maintains control.

    Dumb stuff I think about LOL
