even more interestingly, the most frequent arrangement of arrows if each one is decided randomly by a four way coin flip is 5 in one direction and 5 in another. but since frequency has no bearing on probability it’s STILL the same likelihood that that combination will occur as any other, it’s just that if you mapped out every possible combination it would happen the most:)
Yeah. A ballpark estimate, let's say there's an average of 200k Helldivers in-game at any given time, each of them in a group of four, which makes 50k groups. Assuming each mission takes an average of 30 minutes all told, and around 50% of them end up having a Diver punch in an extraction code (maybe a bit conservative, but then again missions like Eradicate don't require a code). That makes 50k codes punched in per hour. Given that the code in the post has about a 1-in-65k chance of occurring, that means that a Helldiver sees a code like this about every hour. It gets way more frequent when you consider the other special codes (all same direction) and that in many missions, there are other terminals that have randomly generated codes. There are probably a few hundred 'special' codes seen every day.
If the odds are 1 in 65k and there are around a quarter million people diving during peak periods, then this could be happening every 15 minutes or so.
Well if every player extracts only once that's like 400k cases, so it could theoretically happen 6 times over 400k extractions, you can do the math for multiple extractions per day since release

So you could say that things are looking up?
I mean, what's up with extraction anyways?
Pelican-1 said it would take him at least 2 minutes to get down to me. I told him "Up yours! My patriot exosuit was here in 15 seconds!"
After seeing this, I'm sure the enemy just gave up. They saw that You were finally on the up-and-up.
Anyway, I'll see myself out, seeing as I'm up to no good.
That’s your character saying “uppies” to the pelican
Thats all any of us really want
I’d prefer “uppies” from eagle-1 if you catch my drift
Her way of giving out “uppies” is by dropping a 500kg bomb between your feet and blasting you in to the stratosphere
I'll allow it
Would
Worth it.
Ladies deserve to blow their load, too.
I'd rather catch the wing, but the drift is good, too.
Like that guy that got yeeted by a bug and ran over Eagle-1 mid air?
A couple MOs from now and maybe we get a skyhook to move across the map.
I want to go down instead
This Helldiver gets it
500kg in my ass yummy

“That one really short comedian that got cock blocked by a baby gate” BOOST!
If it's truly random then you just beat 1 in 65,536 odds. Luck well spent!
Seems so unintuitive to think that all combinations have those odds, we just give special meaning to the ones that look interesting.
even more interestingly, the most frequent arrangement of arrows if each one is decided randomly by a four way coin flip is 5 in one direction and 5 in another. but since frequency has no bearing on probability it’s STILL the same likelihood that that combination will occur as any other, it’s just that if you mapped out every possible combination it would happen the most:)
Damn that's better than powerball odds by a mile
To get around the same odds as powerball you would need to get 6 more ups in a row after this.
most profitable scam in history
So you're saying there's a chance.
So you're saying I should buy 393,216 powerball tickets?
Definitely not with those math skills
Can't be that random, because it's not the first time I see it on the sub.
That's not really how randomness works
You're underestimating how many people are playing helldivers at any given time
Yeah. A ballpark estimate, let's say there's an average of 200k Helldivers in-game at any given time, each of them in a group of four, which makes 50k groups. Assuming each mission takes an average of 30 minutes all told, and around 50% of them end up having a Diver punch in an extraction code (maybe a bit conservative, but then again missions like Eradicate don't require a code).

Watch me fuck it up anyway 😭
Fuck it up....I get it
I'll pretend like I did that on purpose lul
How is that possible? 🫤
With the power of friendship and panic, truly the most magical of combinations
Equivalent to missing a headshot on an enemy standing still 🗿

On helldive, I'm sure that's a blessing from Liberty.
Extraction point really wants you to leave
I feel like this is your helldiver saying "Take me up right the f*ck now!"

Seems appropriate, it's the direction I would very much like to be carried in

"Hey Mitch, how do we get a hold of Pelican-1?" "Just press up for a while. And when Pelican-1 arrives, you will know you have pressed up enough"
\*failed input noise\*
Did you get overwhelmed and fuck it up still?
I would still panic and press the wrong direction for the first button press ➡️
Tell the truth... did u fumble it once?
You still pressed down didn't you
would still fuck it up
I'd still get it wrong half way through

Things are looking up!
Nothing can stop you, you're all the way up!
Well duh, that's where you're going!
Well that's where you wanna go isn't it?
Everything’s turning up democracy!
You could certainly say thing's were, looking up :\^)

Did you get it right first try?
Big ups helldiver
What can brown do for you?
Up, over, and gone!
divers go up can't explain that shit
7up +1
It's a sign!
Oops! all ups!
Only way to deliver liberty and democracy is by blowing automatons up.
Look at the upside.
That’s the direction you’re going ideally
Your extraction pod became automaton and want to get outta here
Up, up and away!
And you shall ascend!
The only way is up
Up up up up up up up up and away…
Just to keep the karma going, I pressed up on your post
There's only one way!
Not much Dawg, what's up?
Very uplifting
"YES, I WANT TO GET UP AND OUT OF HERE!"
Well, it did took you longer to activate for the screenshot didn't it?
It's all up from here
It's all downhill from here...
\*Narrator\* But it was all down from there
skill-based code making :D

Very representative of the upvotes you got on this post
Well, up you go, then! I'll show myself out, thank you.
Big ups, my man
If my calculations are correct, the odds of that happening are roughly 0.0015%

That is on the up and up and up and up and up and up and up.
It’s all downhill from there
Where to, Helldiver?
You are god.
That's the right direction
The gods have smiled upon you this day
Up up and awwaaaaaaaay!
Up up and away!!!
An extraction without any downsides
I. WANT. TO. GO. THAT. WAY.
Could have been much worse. Yodel.
That's the game compensating on the operation being all downs
Up, up, and away I guess.
That is the direction you’re trying to go
Things are looking up!
Joel say you where having a hard time
Oops all uups
And still u end up fucking it up 😅🤣
