Right, that sounds more probable.

So at very least, your phrasing that "every fifth node should yield HQ on every hit" is misleading because you're actually talking about "every fifth node with a chance of 67%" which is still once per cluster of six nodes, I assume? In which case it's not every fifth node but every thirtieth that has a 20% chance of an all-HQ run.

On top of that, even if it was every fifth node, it's still a chance rather than a guarantee. If you could be certain of getting your "20% chance" to trigger within five attempts, that would suggest they're secretly adjusting the system to improve your odds if anything.
