It takes careful, split-second timing...

If you want to be godlike, pick anything.

If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

Last time I used it was when I got that, twice, in a row. What are the odds?

5% - every time

 

If you flip a (presumably balanced) coin 19 times and get heads what are the odds of getting heads on the 20th flip?

 

 

 

50%

But what are the odds of rolling 5% twice in a row? Some googling says it's a 3% chance of getting two 5% in a row.

While you can extrapolate statistics into frequencies, the base value of probabillity (one flip), will always be 50/50.  The coin doesn't care how many times it's flipped.  Each flip is unique.

 

If the probability of monkey is 5%, it will be 5%, every time you activate Secondary Mutation, regardless of how many times it happened in X activations.

...yes, but I specifically said the odds of it happening twice in a row. The numbers would change if I said three times in a row. And then four times in a row. And yeah, happening twice in a row is definitely not 5%.

Gotcha, yes.

 

If we're still talking about monkeys (5%), and my ancient statistics brain still works:  (1/20)^2 = 0.0025 or 0.25% 

 

Rare indeed.
