    Two things:

    1. It wasn’t missing on a 90% that was an issue; you could miss shots that showed 100% because it was actually a 99.5% chance and the display number got rounded up.

    2. It still doesn’t use real probability. They literally programmed it so anything over 50% was actually a much higher percentage behind the scenes to make you feel like you were doing better (and because computers can’t do truely random numbers). This is actually a super common thing in all video games that use percentages or dice rolls. And becsuse it’s a computer, if you opened up the code to see the starting seed and all the math applied to it, you could accurately predict everything in the sequence.
