I am NOT accusing the show of being unfair or anything like that. Just a curious statistical near impossibilty.
Since the start of season 40, the mystery wedge has been flipped 128 times.
85 times it's been a bankrupt
43 times it's been $10,000
Assuming a fair 50-50 chance, the chance of that happening is 0.01293%.
In order to regress to the expected mean, it would have to be $10,000 the next 42 times in a row. Such poor luck!
