That is the shape of sorting, not of the machine.

It has shared a draw with every one of the other 48 numbers; chance expected about 0.0 still unmet by now. Every pair →

Every draw it appeared in ← number 1 Every number number 3 → What this cannot tell you Nothing here predicts the next draw. A number’s history is a record of a fair machine’s past, and the machine keeps none of it: 2 is drawn with probability 6/49 tonight whatever it did last week.
