"Simple. 1/21 implies if only vaguely) that one might find a rare item with this particular drop rate once in every 21 appearances of the enemy that drops it..."
I quote myself:
"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."
Back to topic: On my site I'm doing a Ultimate mode rare finder, it's almost finished except a couple of ID's. If you get an error message or something wrong, that'll be the problem. It's at the bottom of this page:
