Math, Materia, and How to Succeed at Melding

Just because something says you have 42% chance to create a successful result doesn't mean 42 out of 100 WILL be successful.

It's pure Random Number Generation (RNG) per individual item. You can have 100 melds @ 42% positive meld rate and fail all 100. Yet you still have a 42% chance in a positive result.

With a pool size as large as 1200 if it was 42% chance you would think you would see it start equal out after a while? Or maybe not only did i get unlucky, but i kept getting unlucky over and over and over again. What's the odds of someone having this bad of luck over and over again on something with a 42% chance. Now, what are the odds that the 42% number might not be correct considering the information i posted along with others.
