In the game's mechanics, the random modifier does not have uniform probability for all percentages between 85 and 100. This is because the computer will multiply the working number by a random number from 217 to 255 (217 is about 85.09% of 255), and then divide it by 2.55, to get the random number from 85 to 100 that the computer will divide by 100 to get the final percentage. | In the game's mechanics, the random modifier does not have uniform probability for all percentages between 85 and 100.

The number 100, the least probable number, has a mere 2.56% (1 in 39) chance of being chosen. | ||
