What's the finesse? How is this better than Math.random?
- noximo 2y agoThat just outputs a single number. I'm running a hundred dice rolls, one by one. Because you need to wait for the results, you often start rooting for/against one of the choices. And that gives you more insight and clarity than any coin toss can. But if you're truly undecided, my app won't spit out a result that's basically 50:50 (or very very close to it), even though that's statistically most likely. Instead, the winner of those 100 rounds gets a big boost in 30 more, rigged, rounds - the winner automatically wins every other round (plus around half of the remaining rounds), giving it a considerable edge. And a choice that leads by 6-8% is more convincing than a choice that barely avoided a tie.
