There was no weighing attached to the birds so each bird was as likely as the others.

Well that's probability.

If you really want to get into a debate on probability then yes you'll probably be able to find a pattern in the data because I used PHP's rand(); function without seeding it which is a pseudo-random number generator which uses a human-made mathematical algorithm to determine randomness rather something truly random such as atmospheric noise which is often used as a seed in RNGs in the security industry to generate 'true' randomness.

But just remember all the RNG was used was to give an egg out on a website containing 1 of 3 possible outcomes. How random do you truly want it to be?

This might be considered spam but ^ that post was full of win :wink:

Now trying to keep this on subject, I think it just happend that most of the active people who talk often got a moltres, doesn't mean there were more or less of them but it just so happened that most of the people who talk to one another just happened to get them. It probably was even and it would have seemed more so if everyone who got the egg had said what they had gotten, but that was not the case so it seemed one-sided.
