Exactly 1/10000, assuming you have neither.

of course the above calculation does not rely on your choice to need or greed on the item, something that would inevitably affect the probability of getting both on one boss. Also your teammates choices affect the probability as well, had for example any of them chosen need when you chose greed. So there are several assumptions that must be made for the probability of one in ten thousand.

But assuming best case scenario; One in ten thousand.

It's actually less than 1/10000, but only very slightly. Given that the entire party rolls the same (AKA, no one rolls need when you hit greed), there *is* a 1/10000 chance that you will roll 100 twice in a row... however, if someone else rolls 100 as well, you'll have an invisible roll-off with them, meaning your chances of winning with the 100 are less than the original 1/100. Dig?

but with 2 mines it would be something like 5 3 4 2 3 1 2 1. what we got here is 5 3 4 2 3 3 1 2. so there is an additional 3.

AB4 is absolutely correct.

but AB4 is also commenting on a different bash than this one. Yes there is an additional 3 but that has nothing to do with this. Hence AB4 is on crack.

DeadlyKris that is AB5 your talking about :p To add a little bit of nerdiness to AB4 post: The odds are 1/100^2 if you roll alone. For each especific item there is a 1/100 change of rolling 100. For you to win and do the achieve you need to roll 100 and win so actually what you need is to either be the only one rolling 100 or roll 100 first than anyone else so: Solo 100: (1/100) Chaotic 5 people rolling 100: 1/5*1/100 Meaning there is a 1/5 chance of clicking first and thus winning even if anyone else rolls 100. For the two combined 100 rolls it (1/5*1/100)^2

AB above: Maybe it looks good for RP? Also DeadlyKris is right, AB4 postet a comment for the "strange mine countdown"-bash in this one. Not AB5.

AB4, and whoever agreed.. If two people both roll 100, they will both get the achievment, but not the item. I\'ve seen it in action.
