Truly random sequences can [i]potentially[/i] have limitless repetition.

This is the most concise way to end this whole debate.

Oooooh, I like this:)

Coding has hardwired this into my soul, I have used a random number generator and gotten the same number 3 times, when it was told to generate between 1-5 which is also hardly unlikely, though that took years off coding to pop up randomly, whereas there has only ben 13 weeks of destiny.
-
But the very definition of random is that anything can occur. Including the same result being generated infinitely. Unlikely, but you cannot truly predict something that is random with any certainty.
-
But there cannot be anything that is random at all as everything has either a reason or pattern, and even thinking of the concept of a random number that never repeats, you cannot comprehend the sheer amount of data and numbers
-
Indeed, but unless their randomiser has rules in it to control repetition it can feasibly repeat the same value forever. You're making an assumption that their RNG system has anything in place to stop repeated values. Currently state of play would indicate otherwise.
-
No I'm just doing basic math, yes there is a chance this happened randomly, but it is very unlikely
-
I'm not saying that it is likely, rather saying that we cannot assume that the RNG is weighted or predetermined just because of what is still a relatively small amount of repetition.
-
Very true 100% true, but the chances get slimmer the more repitition there is
-
Agreed. Wow. A mature conversation in this forum. Who knew?!
