What are the chances of that??

[Nicholas002]

This thread is for people to share the unlikely things that happen in the game, that make you go "What are the chances of that??"

I'll start: today, in a GbG negotiation of 5 options, the correct answer was all the same good.
there is a 1/3125 chance of this happening. (1/5)^5

A while ago, I aided a friend, and sat in their tavern, and got 1. a BP 2. tavern silver and 3. a FP
there is a 1/3125 chance of this happening. (2% x 20% x 8%)

(did anyone notice that these two examples have the same chance?..... what are the chances of that??)

Even though my BG is 30% chance, every time I get a double collect I'm shocked.

Getting two Jade Relics near the end of the Difficulty. Also getting 75 Diamonds in one day while collecting.

One time I was doing a very complex negotiation. I don't know what happened, because I had guessed nothing right, and the window said "Only 5 left!". Like, bruh, WYM "only" 5 left that's everyone!

My chance at getting a relic in GE was 15.75%. My first relic showed up at encounter 53. I’m not going to calculate the odds of that happening but I bet they are very low.

More recently...level 58 HC 9 attempts at 46%. 50 diamonds, 500 goods, 1 spoils of war, 200 fp.
You have to admit that doesn’t happen every day.

Himeji Castle gives a 5% chance your reward will be 200fp if you get a reward. I once got 3 in a row.

that is a 1/8000 chance! wow!

 

[DreadfulCadillac]

that is a 1/8000 chance! wow!

how u calculating these chances?
i once got 50diamonds AND 200fp in one day.
i have a lvl 11 HC.

 

[Jern2017]

Best I got was 3x 200 FP from my HC and 2x 100 FP Relics in one day.

 

[Nicholas002]

how u calculating these chances?

5% x 5% x 5% = (0.05)^3 = 0.000125 = 1/8,000

 

[DreadfulCadillac]

5% x 5% x 5% = (0.05)^3 = 0.000125 = 1/8,000

what does this sign mean: ^

 

[UBERhelp1]

what does this sign mean: ^

It means raised to the power of. So, for example, 2^2 is 2*2, or 4. 2^3 is 2*2*2, or 8.

So in the example Nicholas gave, (0.05)^3 is 0.05*0.05*.05, or 0.000125, or 1/8,000.

I collected diamonds from 2 out of 5 wws. The next day I collected 50 more from one of the same wws that I had gotten diamonds from the day before

 

[Aggressor]

But you know who has us all beat? WinnerGR!
what are the chances of plundering 500 diamonds a day from wishing wells, having terrace farms produce 50 FPs, being #1 in your LMA hood when you have literally 400,000 points, etc! Sounds like a ton of fun to be WinnerGR!

 

[Nicholas002]

I joined a guild in G world on my new GE diamond farm. in GE this week, we are in second place behind my guild in my main city (in Z world)!
So basically I'm competing against my self, lol.

 

[ffblackice]

You guys are luck. my TOR lvl3, last GE I completed all 4 level, only trigger once in silver, not sure what would be the chance?

 

[MarktheMagnificent]

I was playing FoE on my wedding anniversary, having forgotten that the wife wanted to go out for a meal. She came in and saw that I was deep into plundering. "I am sorry, I don't want to disturb you." She said, "Shall I get you a beer out of the fridge?"

What are the chances of that?

Astronomical! Are you sure you weren't dreaming in that recliner?

I dropped my phone and while instinctively trying to catch it I press the exact buttons needed to leave my guild and now I need to wait a week before joining the guild again.
