Do the statistics work like that though? Kind of embarrassing to admit but I have really never gone too far with math, it never interested me much. But if you have 5 items with 1:700 each, I don't think you should find all 5 in 700 runs.. This is probably totally wrong, but wouldn't it be 5x 1:700 ? I'm probably just really embarrassing myself right now.. please don't judge :cry:
Im not sure either but if you toll a dice and you are looking for a 3,4,5 or 6 the probabilty should be 4/6 since every number got 1/6 probability.
So if I got 5 items of each 1:700 probabilty it should be 5:700=1:140 that I find any of these items. Then after Ive found one of them its 4:700=1:175 etc.
Thats how im thinking but im not sure
