OK, just because something is a certain percent, doesn't mean that you have that chance of finding it over a spread search.
Let me explain:
A percentage is 2%. (That gives me a 1 in 50 chance.)
I have 50 identical cups upside-down, and only one has a ball underneath. My chance of finding the ball from just one guess is 2%.
I didn't guess right. (This is the equivalent of not getting a rare.)
I try again, but with a new set of 50 cups. Therefore, I still have a 2% chance.
I can try as many times as I want with new sets of 50 cups, but the chance of finding the ball will always stay as 2%, no matter how many times I guess.
Remember, the game does not remember how many times you've not got a rare.
Hope this explains, and doesn't baffle.
