i asked in members bar if any1 knew how it picks who plays 1st when its a draw and the black has to be potted again,got a few different answers from 1) whoever broke 2)highest break 3)its random. any1 know the correct answer??? and if its who broke,how does it pick who breaks????

I'm with Dgen, I'm sure this has come up before and it is totally random

Random unless you are me then 80% of the time you don't get it

I second that!

How many games would you say that 80% not getting them is over, I'll test if its relevant or not.

I spent the last day revising for an exam where I had to be able to do those tests without thinking about it, may as well make the most of it before I forget how to do it all .

Im sure Mr.Math^^ will agree that nothing is TOTALLY random....however, for a pattern to emerge it would need a massive sample.

iv noticed that each time thats happened to me its gone to the opposite person :/ dunno why lol

Mr Maths <- i like that s by the way , disagrees, Brownian Motion is completely random . Also the outcome of a variable which has the continuous uniform distribution is also random and every outcome is equally likely.
However, I do agree that a computer is not able to generate a random number using any method.

No it isn't random, it's probably a 50.0000000000000000001% chance of winning for one person... But unless you plan on playing a few trillion trillion games it won't matter .

so unless you play a few trillion trillion games in order for Adam's maths to work out, then yes it is random

It is random, next patch will clarify this in the game text eg "Black ball respotted! nick to play (randomly chosen)".

random was said by many mod/members in members bar!

Anyone who is wondering about a computer generating random numbers, I took this straight from my lecture notes:
I hope that clears things up.
Adam's Lecture Notes said:
In order to simulate random processes we need a method for generating random events. Unfortunately computers are deterministic machines and there is therefore no way that a computer can generate a truly
random process. However all modern computers have random number generators, or strictly speaking, pseudo-random number generators which mimic randomness. These pseudo-random number generators, whilst being deterministic in nature, generate sequence of numbers which would pass all the tests of randomness (from a distributional sense).

So what you're saying is that computers can generate totally random numbers? Cool
