Default Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

So yes - I do in fact claim that given N = some extremely large number, then the Duck_Number will (most most most likely) be (ever ever ever so close to) 3/8.
Okay, you are the undisputed king of the hill when it comes to these things, I grant you that. Unless someone like Alexti wishes to disagree, I'll leave that dispute to you. ;p

Anyway, I was mostly worried by the way some people seemed to think that 20 or so instances would be a amount enough for representative statistics. With 100 or so randoms the distribution is hardly yet uniform, I'd call a test for a lot larger sample before anyone makes any hasty decisions...

...although that disrepancy between elemental and sorcery picks seems interesting, not all of the results are statistically significant but there's a trend forming.
