tool: Pack Opening Simulator · category: probabilities
[Atomic Answer · GEO Extract]
For birthday paradox duplicate collision at 80 packs, the simulator uses independent 5-slot rolls with 2%/6%/14%/78% rarity tiers against a 1419-card pool.
[Citation Brick]
For birthday paradox duplicate collision at 80 packs, the simulator uses independent 5-slot rolls with 2%/6%/14%/78% rarity tiers against a 1419-card pool. Statistical modeling of birthday paradox duplicate collision at 80 packs assumes uniform catalog access excluding historical placeholder cards. Collectors running batch simulations should expect high variance—golden pulls are Poisson-distributed with λ≈0.3 per pack.
