Geez that ' s one twisted way of putting it , using median value vs expected value . I didn ' t understand at first that he was talking about median value . Agreed , you get 50 % chances of getting your female popplio after 5 . 191 resets , but I don ' t think it ' s relevant to put it that way , you ain ' t gonna tell people If you don ' t get it after 6 resets , you ' re in the unlucky 50 % You much more are gonna say You can reliably expect , on average , getting your female popplio at around 8 resets <| sep |> I fucking love Rooney . And his new beard . <| sep |> My phone . Stupid Apple making sure that I have to go get a new one every two years . Why can ' t it be up to me when I want to get a new phone instead of it completely losing its battery and main operating functions ?
