I could probably tell you if I understood what you mean by 1/5 ...

I wondered the same thing...

will also need to know if it's 25 or if it's 30...
which is close to the opposite of that 1 in 5

perhaps it's the odds of a coherent op question,,, 1 in 5
(which is the same as hitting a flush draw on the river)
HEY! it can happen...

I am second in order in my recent 1v1 speed games. My numbers are estimated but I think I'm second in order in a vast majority of my recent 30-35 games. This effects my dice stats as well. My dice stats was gross but change from 56+% attacker for my opponents compared to 1-2-3+% for me to 20-% and 25-% in just one game which I also was second in order and lost by far.

I start in 1 of 5 games for my recent 30-35 games. It simply won't stop. What's the odds? I'm just playing to have the numbers confirmed over and over. I just shake my head and laugh for every game.

I don't think the odds are that astounding tbh...
Maybe the equivalent of winning on a scratch ticket?
Also, we really need to have exact numbers to be able to give a definitive answer. ;)

Dear it.futt,

I have inspected your previous 28 1v1 matches, and it appears that your case in terminal. Your having only managed to go first in five of those 28 matches, has made it apparent that you should just quit now. It doesn't get any better from here.

Sincerely,

Lolz. :P

Ok, just as long as you'll admit that English isn't yours. :P

But seriously, a one in 5 chance? That doesn't seem that odd...
If you flipped a coin 25 times and it came up tails roughly five times would you be like: "HOLY SHIT, THIS IS INSANE!!!" ?

He sounds like he is willing to do the math it just sounds like you have trouble counting past 5 without using your toes. You want others to agree with you but you just want them to have faith in what you say. Give them some proof.

Better than fail count to one pointing your forehead. And, yeah, I'm a liar. I've lied about the all. Clown.

Did you know that physically speaking, if you threw a tennis ball against a concrete wall 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times, there is a small chance that the ball could pass right through the wall one of those times?

I'd say the tennis ball would get destroyed long before. Sometimes science sounds like a story from the bible. Joshua fit the battle of Jericho. And who was the harlot Rahab?

If you want to mock the Bible, then please use coherent sentences, better grammar and correct words (fit/fought). It will help you sound like you know that you are actually comparing science and religion. When you say they are both stories but use incorrect words and incomplete sentences we may have a hard time taking you seriously, even when you are joking.

I recently saw a video on PBS or KOCE or some public network. It was talking about Quantum Physics and talking about the chances of you walking through a wall into another dimension or something and you are in a bar and order orange juice and there is a chance that it is blue. Basically, the further you get the less specific your predictions can be. You can predict that it will most likely be a liquid but not what type it will be. Then further out you can predict that it might be consumable.

lt.Futt, sorry about that. I was out of line, even if he was a native English speaker.

No worries. I thought you were joiking me anyway. Besides that communication's about function. Not the form. Both sender and the receptionist has to try their best to make the communication work according to the communication contract. It's immanent in the human that we want to understand and make it understandably. This is why we're the only species who speak and interpret rationally.

edit: I tried to link FunkyTerrence's tennis ball against the wall with the tearing walls surrounding Jericho. Also I had a digression to the harlot Rahab. I'm not trying to mock the Bible. At least not bad.

I'm sorry. I have missed this post. Thank you for taking your time go through my games! Now I have one witness! A lot apprechiated! =D>

I thought I did go first in 1/6 of my recent 1v1 games but I made it 1/5 just to be sure. And I were right.
