@winter @tob pretty sure that if there is supposedly a 50% chance of something exploding but 5 of them explode in a row, it is extremely statistically unlikely that the next 5 in a row will all be fine, if it was a 50% explosion rate then surely at least 1 or 2 out of the first 5 attempts owuld have been fine
