Two Shav's Drops in Four Days

sorry

I've always held a personal theory that the R in RNG isn't quite as random as it could be.

I've seen too many examples of getting a rare drop, than another right after it.

In Diablo 3 I've had the same unique drop twice in one level, but never again in the 4 months either side.

I dunno, something to do with the seed number?

Anyway, congrats, I hate you, but you jsut won the lotery...twice.

Try and six link one of them!

It's okay, there, there.

One time I bought one soda from a machine, but it gave me 7.

Pretty sure I have you beat on luck.

Rng is a terrible system.

I remember my professor in comp science telling us that good pseudo random number generators allow streaks of same numbers (= same outcome).

This is because when observing real random number generators (say, from cosmic microwave background radiation fed RNGs) streaks aren't as uncommon as you might think.

Real randomness is not equal to lesser amount of streaks. On the contrary.

Streaks of a rare event like shav dropping should be astronomically low. Its simply the probability squared. If say the probability within one day is 1 in 1000, then probability of two drops in 2 days is 1 in a million.

90% of statistics are made up on the spot, 70% of people know this.

I found 4 Occultist's Vestments in the same 8 hours.
