GO HACKING IS BULL

[Blanz]

i went 5 - 79 on hacks today. thats a 5.95% success rate, compared to the 15% it should have been (39% on CIA)

im sick and tired of people telling me that I am unlucky. If i am consistently in the bottom 1%, that's not unluckiness; there is something wrong with the code.

Go Hacking is also cut in half for each page. So if you have a 15% possibility of winning that's 7.5% on the first page, and 7.5% on the second page. It's not 15% and 15%.

Don't ask me the logic behind that, Lyn designed it and Orsm kept it that way.

And since the maximum % rate on any of them is 85%, your true maximum rate is 42.5% for each page of the hack.

Yes it is 15% on the first page and 15% on the second page.

It doesn't work like that, actually it's 15% each page, 15% and then 15%, so the true chances are (15%)² = 2.25%
And the maximum chances would be (85%)² = 72.25%

[[1]Savage Wolf]

I was told when I first started, and was wondering the same things you were. LYN HIMSELF told me that it was HALVED for each page, and that the percentage you see is actually the combination of both pages.

Now unless the code has been changed, it's still like that.

PROTIP: Read the first post slowly

He's already done the squaring part for you so you didn't have to have this debate

Now, taking 84 or more attempts (inc 5 successes) has odds of 0.8%. That's unlucky, but not unreal. If you think you are being systematically discriminated against, then every day post how many times it takes you to win in this topic. If, next week, you have 500/35 or something stupid then I'll accept your argument, otherwise my evidence says otherwise and you should STFU.

i am 1-30 today so far, and out of energy. well into the bottom 1%, two days in a row? and like 10 of the last 15 days? there is something wrong with the code. maybe it just affects me, idk. anomalies like that have happened before. no matter what, SOMETHING IS WRONG

EDIT: 1-38

[Blanz]

So, out of the thousands of people who've used the hacking script, this bug only affects you? Yeah, I'm sticking with my original comment.

im just saying that that is a possibility. the probability of me doing this badly twice in a row is about 0.0024%. and ive been at the very bottom end MANY times, and at the top end (over 50%) twice. this is statistically significant.

[Andi]

There is nothing wrong with the code.

[Blanz]

after 7 days of recording what i got (its all in the first post), i can honestly say that there is something wrong with the code. at least 3 of the 7 days i am in the bottom 1% of probability. I only got over the expected amount once, and it was by fractions of a percent, so i was essentially at the 50% mark.

Looking at what I got, you cant honestly say that that is just luck.

[Andi]

Umm.. i'm gonna do a histogram of the random function to see if it's properly distributed. I've noticed a long time ago that there are times in a day when you're very lucky and hours when you're not.
So if you fail successively 3 times you better wait for later. I was told this too when I played.

We were watching you because you were healing so regularly. But if by your reasoning and IF we did use an auto refresher (but we didnt) then what were you using that could heal and attemp a hack before we could kill you????? Must be a good code Blanz

What was the final result?

it's been 3 days... have you done this yet? if so, how'd it go?
