[quote]The exact sequence doesn't matter[/quote] This is the whole problem. After the fact, there [b]is[/b] an exact sequence. You can't point to that sequence and say, 'look, that was really unlikely' as if it's some kind of proof it's not RNG. You're mistaken in your coin analogy. What I am saying is that looking at one hundred coin toss [i]results[/i] does not produce a sample upon which one can judge the randomness of coin tosses. Any time you look at results over a specific number of trials, you will have a standard deviation. This is the deviation from the mean, or the frequency at which it should occur. I'll just be repeating myself if I continue, but I hope you can see that making a conclusion based on the results of 4 trials is pointless.

  • Plus every sequence has the same possibility of occurring, however looking at the overall outcome within the sequences timeframe, you have to agree that getting every outcome the same is far more unlikely

  • We are making the conclusion because they occurred in a row, we don't care about the previous weeks
