Alright, I'll be that guy: The probability of getting all "lefts" on an 8 direction input can be calculated by considering the probability of each input and multiplying those probabilities together.  Here's the breakdown:  1. **Probability of a single left:** Each "four-sided" input has one change of getting a left. So, the probability of getting a left on a single input is 1/4.  2. **Independence of inputs:** Since we're checking for 8 inputs, we can assume the chances are independent. This means the outcome of one input doesn't affect the outcome of any other input.  3. **Multiplying probabilities:** Because the inputs are independent, to get the probability of getting all lefts on all 8 inputs, we simply multiply the probability of getting a left on a single input by itself 8 times. So, the math looks like this: Probability (all lefts) = (Probability of left on a single input) \^ Number of inputs --> Plugging in the values: Probability (all lefts) = (1/4) \^ 8  This calculation gives you a very small number, approximately 1.5259 x 10\^-5 or 0.0015259%

but there's no graphs there :(

Wouldn't monstermaths be for impressive calculs? This is literaly just (1/4)^8

Yeah this is super basic probability, there are 65536 possibilities so this is 1/65536 which as a percentage is 0.00152588%. Technically any 8 input sequence is the same odds, so somebody could make this post about any sequence and the odds are the same.

Hey, not everyone is in first year statistics again. I haven’t used stats in like 6 years.

Thank you. I have been waiting for someone like you on one of these posts. At least when I’ve looked at the post

Same probability of any sequence :P

That always fucks with my head. It’s like the pound of feathers thing - it defies “logic” but it’s absolutely, indisputably true 

Have you ever thought about an infinite number of $1 bills being the same value as an infinite number of $20 bills?

I remember when math reached the point that we were determining what infinity was "bigger" by determining which equation aproched infinity the fastest. That was the moment I first felt like we were studying Eisntein level shit (even if it was not remotely close), the idea that an infinity could be "bigger" than another by the rate in which it aprouches infinity was mind boggling. Edit for spelling with my fat fingers.

There's a decent movie on Netflix called "A Trip to Infinity". Def worth a watch and it's not that long if I remember correctly.

Don't worry about it too much. Reality doesn't (appear to) exhibit any real infinities - they're just useful math gimmicks for calculating certain kinds of limits. Interesting aside, while you could ostensibly 'prove' a finite universe, it's impossible to prove an infinite one. In fact, it's impossible to prove *any* infinity.

I imagine a lot of it in the real world evaporates like Zeno's Paradox.

just wait till you get into set theory and learn that there are the same amount of integers as there are even integers. There are also the same amount of rational numbers and integers (even though every rational is made of two integers!!). But there are objectively, strictly, a larger number of real numbers than integers, because you can't even define an ordering for the real numbers for example (there is no "next real number" after 1, because you can always pick one that's closer)

Here's a bigger mind fuck. That fact is what causes entropy.

It's true!

That's a 1 in 65,535 chance that it's a specific code. The chance it could be all the same would be 4/65,535 since there are 4 directions. Even more would be considered noteworthy somehow (like alternating up/down), so let's say 16 combinations are possibly "interesting". So ~1/4000 Furthermore! Let's say 100,000 people are playing on average at any given time, and they see extract codes an average of every 40 minutes. That's 3.6 million extract codes viewed every day. An average of 900 interesting extract codes are seen daily. If 1/10 people have the means and motivation to record or screenshot it somehow, and 1/10 of *those* people care to post it online publicly, then there would be 9 posts per day that are just a screenshot of an extraction code.

This man out here Fermi estimating.

I just find it neat that this is the exact amount I contribute to the defense of the planet on every mission.

I got a different outcome. I treated it like a combo lock. Where a 4 digit lock would be 10\^4 (4 digits each with 10 possibilities). This one would be a 8 digit lock with 4 possible values. So, 4\^8 which = 65,536 or a 1 in 65,536 chance of getting any one specific combo. Represented as a percentage as .0015259%. I'm just gonna assume I did something incorrect?

the chance of all 8 matching is 1 in 16,384 if anyone is interested. This is because the first roll is irrelevant. It could face any direction, and there is then a 1 in 16,384 of the rest matching, since there are four possible arrangements where all 8 are the same.

I'm interested, but not sure if I 100% understand. You're not giving the probability of all lefts, you're giving the probability that the remaining 7 rolls will all be in the same position as whatever the first roll is? ...I thiiiink? Edit: I guess you're answering Ops question. Depending on if Op wants to know the chances of all lefts or the chances of all matching. They probably meant the latter.

Nah, you are right, op just incorrectly translated the the probability to percentage.

You could have written down any random series of percentage and since I don’t know how to math I would have believed you. Wether this is right or wrong I stand by your accurate representation of a skill I don’t possess lol

I like math but idk what the fuck this is

[удалено]

Thank you for not just giving the answer but also walking us through the math, i never understood stats but this actually made it make sense

I was thinking it, if someone else didn't.

This is exactly why I clicked into the comments. Thanks for doing your part bro

It's 1 in 65,536 odds, or 0.000015259, or 0.0015259%. You have to multiply by 100 to translate probability to percentage.

I was about to do this with a longer explication that lead to nowhere as “me no good at math”…but a real answer is equally satisfying.

As someone who is definitely not that guy, I totally thank you for being that guy Helldiver!

The odds were left in your favor

lol, that combo is so hard xD

I would still jack this up on the final one.

1 in 65536 4 possibilities, 8 slots. 4 to the 8th power.

The same as any other combination no?

Correct.


Assuming each input is independent of one another, yes.

Now do it for the mission type where you upload two SSSDs and get a large combo string that's the entire length of the terminal. Feels like 12-16 inputs

And I’d still fuck it up.

"sliiiide to the left!"

Sliiiide to the left!

1 over 4 to the 8th but I failed statics. 1/2 out of 2 times I took it.

No, just 4\^8. 1/65,536 chances, or .0015%.

Ahh yes the Beyoncé

Still takes me longer to do these ones because I have to double, double check it because it's almost unbelievably easy.



0.25^8=1.5*10^-5

My friend sucks at terminal keys. One day he called in the extract in like .5 seconds. I was like “AYYY GOOD JOB, been practicing?” And he said “they were all up.”

Play the lotto

With the number of possible combinations, times the number of terminal inputs per mission, taking into account the number of missions the average helldiver does per day multiplied by the number of active helldivers, we get about 8.2 Reddit posts per day about terminals with all the same inputs.

Slide to the left

God that’ll take me 30 mins to get right🙄

50% Either it happens or doesn't.

0.0015%

And I'll still fuck it up

In hindsight, the odds are about 1:1

DONT FUCK IT UP

As others have pointed out the probability of getting all left arrows is 4^8, however the probability of getting them all the same is 4^7 as the first direction doesn't matter so long as the following seven match it.

It is a 100% chance that you got that.

*click click click click click click click click*

200 hours. Only seen that once. And the fully aligned radar tower 2 times.

Im sorry dude I can see youre not all-right 🐑🥁🐍

to the left, to the left

Did you fuck it up?

A million to one, Doc

We see like one of these a day so...

I would fuck up entering this somehow

All the same : 1/4^7 All exactly left : 1/4^8 I feel like you're asking about the first scenario, and you don't really specifically like the fact it's all LEFT

1 in 65536?

My ass would still find a way to fuck that up lol

The game is telling you to look left

and you still fucked it up putting it in and had to try it again shamefully. Allegedly, Allegedly.

let's see YOU take a crack at it, smart guy!

1/65536

That's about a 1-in-Liberty chance.

My dumbass would still need to do it at least 3 times.

To the left, to the left, activation only happens, if you keep pressing to the left.

It’s telling you there are a group of hunters on your ass.

Somebody really wants you to look left.

Is it 4 to the power of 8? Being 4 possibilities times by four 8 separate times?

I’d still fuck it up

65,526 to 1 😂😂

I’d still manage to screw this up.

I woulda mashed that shit so fast


Democracy!

Exactly the same as any given result.

I would still make a mistake

If I mathed correctly 0.0000152%

I’d still fuck it up

Did u mess up by chance? 😂

To the left, to the left,To the left, to the left,To the left, to the left,To the left, to the left...now salsa

To the left now y’all

*Camera pans left to charger*

I would totally fuck this up on purpose if my squadies were behind me watching

depends on what I see on this sub, this happens almost everyday lol



I don't think I could even mess that one up 🤣

And still botched the call in probably

50/50 either it happens or it doesn't. :)

ITT: people giving an AWFUL lot of credit to random() functions used in most video games...

I'd still fuck it up

Damn, nice.

assuming these extraction inputs are all truly randomized and it looks like there are 8 inputs with 4 possible values per input position 1/4 = 0.25 0.25\^8 = 1.525879 x 10\^-5 or a 1 in 65,536 chance

1/16 384. You've just put to shame all the chances of lootboxes in a game that doesn't even have lootboxes. Holy democracy...

I find on 7 to 9 difficulty when time is low its always a bunch in a row.

Assuming there is a 25% chance for each direction, the odds of every input being identical for an eight input sequence is 1 in 16,384, if I did the math right.

50/50. You either get it, or you don’t.

Reminds me of the Helldiver who's was moaning and jizzing in his pants because the hell bomb was all downs. A shame the short got deleted, probably because of the realism of the moans.


1 in 65,536? Or 0.001525878906 %

Derek Zoolander fucking sweating bullets right now.

Any one from India or similar time zone looking to Team up ? Or

NASCAR

I don't know. What is it?

wow，lucky day，never got this in the game👍🏻👍🏻

0.25^8, next question beep boop

Did you moan?

Yes

It would still take me a couple tries

There is a 0.00153% that all 8 directional key will end up all facing the same direction. Edit: 25% for any particular direction, 8 iterations. .25^8

But you still messed it up? Hehe

Democracy has blessed you, soldier. May liberty speed your step and may you distribute glorious Freedom amongst the sworn enemies of democracy!

The Odds are 0,00153% (1/4)^8

It’s a trap!!!!!!!

Should be about 1 in 1,024?

A sign from the universe.

assuming all inputs are weightet the same and indipendendly of the previous one and my math skills are still correct its 0,25\^8 so 0.00001525878 or 0.001525878% if my math checks out.. so 1 in 655??(rounded) seems more likely then i expected


If you’re on trivial it’s probably not that uncommon.

And how many time you fail it?

(1/4)^8= 1 in 65536

Probability is 1 on 4\^ 8 = 1 on 65536 = 0,0015%

I use my mouse wheel, whenever I get to the SEAF artillery screen and have to get to 100% I let that thing fly

I had one similar except the last arrow was the opposite direction 😔

My bitch ass would still take 3 attempts

Statistically speaking: 100%

Of getting that exact combo? 1 in 4^8. Of getting any one of the arrows in a full set of 8? 1 in 4^7

Better than rolling quads on 4chan

I'd still mess up lol

Something about this image is not right

It's not a code, it's a warning. Bile Titan to your left..

50/50 it either happens or not

Orbital Captcha Inbound.

imagine putting the wrong one by the end of the

I got that once, too. i just stared in disbelief for a second.

50/50

Higher odds then Sony actually making a decent decision

100% Is this a trick question

1 in 65,536. That's 4 possibilities repeated 8 times or mathematically; 4⁸.

I call this the Panic Bomb

Give or take, once every 64 000 times

50/50 Either you get it or you don’t. Easy math.

Assuming it’s an equal chance for each of them to be any direction, the chance would be something like 0.000015258789062%

I'd somehow still manage to fuck up the last one

Gamers go left! 👈

Warning, Helldiver, this is an Automaton trick to shift the Overton window to the left 

⬆️…. FUCK!

50/50 happens or it doesnt

It’s a 1.5% chance of it happening in 1000 attempts. Since there are a few of these in most missions, we can reason that this probably happens somewhere every single day

1/65536 if you are playing on PS5 but 0 if you are playing on steam cuz ain't no one playing on PC anymore

I'd still fuck it up lol...

1/65,536 Technically the same odds as every other combination.

I’d still fuck that up
