Instructions

Press the green flag and let the program do its job. The more you use it, the better the data collected! (The program keeps track of the average of all trials performed by scratchers via the "World" cloud variables!) Leave it running in your background tasks on turbo (shift+flag) and keep your eye out for anything green!

Description

This project won't prove anything until there is millions or hundreds of thousands of tries, so keep using it! Hopefully the answer will be found soon!!! ------------------- When I created this, I knew the answer, but I wanted to engage the community, so I chose not to reveal the truth. The truth is that "Pick Random" is not truly random. In fact, it is pseudorandom, meaning that it is supposed to fit statistical tests such as this, but is not truly random as it is defined by a mathematical function. Although it seems that "Pick Random" does not fulfill the statistical tests.
