Well, me and my friends got into an hour long fucking debate over the nature of random and how it works in a game of Mario and the secrete levels. Here is how it all started, there was this part with 5 or 4 elevators (platforms evenly paced vertically that keep dropping at the same speed) and one friend said if you went when the second one dropped, you would always have the right timing to make it across. I said it all depends on when the elevators came onto the screen, because they would not be moving while off the screen and were only at a set point. So I said it was completely random, because you would move whenever it came on screen, witch would always be different because of human nature (that it's impossible for you to move the exact same speed twice threw a level twice). He said it always followed a pattern, because it would be impossible for you to beat the level unless it did. So I said that it would have to be the EXACT same way every time for it to follow a pattern and not be random. He said there could be slight changes in the pattern, as long as it was close enough it was still a pattern (which made me face-palm, because I don't think that's how patterns work). So we basically argued for an hour about the nature of random, and he said it couldn't repeat the same thing twice and still be random, so I said something about no computer ever being able to do true random (even tho true random could repeat the same thing twice and still be random).
So that's the short story, AM I CRAZY OR ARE ALL MY FRIENDS GAY NIGGERS?
