>>15047754Assuming you're the same anon, you responded dumbass to someone saying that Fubuki is not "closer". So it is relevant. Here's the very clearest example. You have a page of 1000000000000000 numbers (separated with commas) that range 1 to 4096. Like 5,67,235,1,28. Say 4096 represents getting a shiny. It's extremely likely that somewhere on that page there is 4096 because generating a 4096 isn't that unlikely an event. You look at a random 10 numbers on the page and see 421, 13, 245, 136, 5, 346, 29, 54, 27, 432. You decide to look at another random 10 numbers on the page, but you are no more likely to find a 4096 in the next 10 compared to the first 10. You are not "closer". Your prior attempt didn't matter. But within the page as a whole there is extremely likely to be a 4096, because generating a 4096 is not rare so it's likely to happen somewhere in all the numbers on that page. But whether you found one or not in your first 10 numbers, makes you not more or less likely to find a 4096 in your next 10 numbers. There's no getting closer from the prior attempts. Fubuki is not any closer to getting a shiny magikarp than when she started.
