Thank you Holger for this post. Statistics are sometimes unintuitive when it comes to the law of large numbers. Your post helps a lot to show that this is indeed a result of nothing else but pure randomness.

Sometimes randomness can really amaze me. Thank you Holger for explaning this Effekt!

Cool! and change "change" to "chance" :) e.g., "the change of finding a planet"

ps. someone should write a bot :) to be honest, users like me, it takes too much time to enjoy something. Maybe it's strategy to make people to spend :)

There is a bot offered by @Buildteam that is call NextColony Bot. Check it out. I think this may be what you are look for.

See you around the Galaxy. :)

Thanks for your comment. Actually I know that one, but it's not free :( I can actually make one on my own, but I'm waiting for someone to do that :)

That is awesome work. I have had the same musing about if the found planets were legit or not. Thank you for clearing this up for me and I am sure a lot of other players.

Keep up the great work and hope to see you around the galaxy.

Great analysis! As you may know I was one those who were initially puzzled by this planet discovery pattern. Now it seems to me that this non-intuitive observation is very much related to the surprising outcome of the famous birthday paradox. Thanks for the clarification!

Huh? Birthday too have paradoxes? Incredibru

Laws of large numbers or Beginners' luck? Yes the former sounds way better. I'm just curious if is possible to script it and predict or forecast the possibility of positive planet discovery. Given the necessary inputs like current block + time + current + destination coordinates.
