The Most Unlikely Achievement in Video Game History (Wii Party U - Amazing Roll!) - Read Description
26Hey! Thanks for watching. Shoutout to the goat @RSPE01 for providing the code necessary to make this possible!
*PSA* - this is *MODDED* gameplay. Not trying to claim I achieved this, because I definitely did not. Keep reading to see just how insane of a claim that'd be.
*"Amazing Feat"* - Little pretext; Amazing Feats are a form of achievement system in Wii Party U that recognizes incredibly rare or difficult moments throughout your gameplay.
*"Amazing Roll!"* - The Amazing Feat showcased in this video is titled "Amazing Roll!', and until now, has never been captured on video. The description of the Feat is, "Roll the same number on all of your dice (either 7 or 10 dice total) in Highway Rollers."
*The Odds* - Just based on the description of the achievement, you can likely tell this it's not very easy to get. Luckily for us, some basic math gives us the exact odds of obtaining our Amazing Feat.
The probability that ten, six-sided dice, all end up landing on the same number (as shown in this video), is 1/6⁹, or 1/10,077,696. See why I called it the most unlikely achievement in video game history?
The more likely way you'd see this Feat legitimately obtained, is via the seven dice throw. That being said, the odds are still a staggering 1/6⁶, or 1/46,656.
Assuming you get one roll per 3 minutes of gameplay, it'd take nearly 2 months until the odds were on your side for the 7 dice roll, and over *28* years until the odds were on your side for the 10 dice roll.
*The Technique* - So, if this achievement is supposed to take 30 years of constant Wii Party U gameplay to obtain, how'd you just see it? Well, mods, obviously.
To be a little more specific, the guy literally recreating Wii Sports in his spare time (@RSPE01), was able to disable the dice's physics, which is why they disappear shortly after being thrown. The game attempts to read which side of the die is facing up, and due to the lack of movement, all the dice have the exact same number, forcing the game to give us the Amazing Feat!
Once again, thank you for watching, and I hope you learned a little!
Preemptive FAQ:
Q - Why are the odds 1/6⁶ & 1/6⁹ rather than 1/6⁷ & 1/6¹⁰? There are seven and ten dice after all.
A - Due to the requirement being that all dice must land on the same number, regardless of what number it is, the first die actually isn't included in the probability equation. It can land on any number, and the following 6 or 9 dice must match it, therefore they are the only ones used.
Q - Aren't the odds slightly better if you're forced to roll the ten dice before being able to roll the seven dice?
A - Yes! Albeit slightly is definitely the right word. As previously mentioned, the odds of the seven dice being the same are 1/46,656. Factoring in the ten dice rolls as well, your odds of either happening are a nominally better 1/46,441. So yeah, should save you 215 rolls or so!
