[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 205557, member: 3745"] The TPA in-game instructions for Jack●Bot also say that specials (including the cow) are worth 1M. The concept of randomness includes the concept of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution]distribution[/url]. A population of random numbers doesn't have to balance all results equally. It can be biased towards or away from some results. A loaded die does this. It can favor a particular result, but there is no pattern or predictability in when that result occurs, so it is random. "True random" is not a phrase with any rigorous definition in mathematics. It may be used in colloquial usage to mean a flat unbiased distribution. But any arguing over what that means is just semantics. [/QUOTE]
