>To calculate chance of KOT ID:The chance of getting any specific character is 1/64. The chance of getting three specific characters in a row is 1/64*1/64*1/64.
To calculate that we can do 1/(64^3) which is 1/262144.
Since there are six possible locations, we can multiply that by 6, which gives us 6/262144, simplified 3/131072.
That means that, statistically, and given that the ID generation is truly random, you should see a true KOT ID appear three times per 131072 unique IDs generated, or approximately once out of every 43,690 IDs generated.
Smart people please check my math and correct me if I'm wrong.
