i learnt small basic to study probability in order to find a way to beat the casino and i made this interesting disocovery
if you take a long string of decimal numbers the string 123 will apeear every 1000 digits while the 221 every 995 digits
this small basic program proves it
start:
TextWindow.WriteLine( digitcount/twotwoone)
a= Math.GetRandomNumber(10)
digitcount= digitcount+1
If a=2 Then
Goto seconddigit
Else
Goto start
EndIf
seconddigit:
a= Math.GetRandomNumber(10)
digitcount= digitcount+1
If a=2 Then
Goto thirddigit
Else
Goto start
EndIf
thirddigit:
a= Math.GetRandomNumber(10)
digitcount= digitcount+1
If a=2 Then
Goto thirddigit
EndIf
If a=1 Then
Goto bingo
EndIf
If a<>1 And a<>2 Then
Goto start
EndIf
bingo:
twotwoone= twotwoone+1
Goto start
so for example in the roulete is much more likely to appear the combination 2nd,2nd,1st column than 1st,2nd,3rd column
i love these kind of problems either they keep you entertained for the rest of your life or hav a huge victory
