Okay, so my life is going pretty good :3 I didn't have a birthday party, but I got a really good digital camera from my mummy! I haven't ever had a good camera, my last one was basically made out of scrap metal and poop. Also, some of my friends got me presents too which is awesome (thank you Danielle and Katie!) and I even had a surprise birthday cake at someone else's party, xD. Everyone was all "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and I was like "WTF ITS NOT EVEN MY PARTY!" So being 17 has been good so far.

I'm up to my neck is SAT stuff I should be doing. However, instead of worry about things that are actually going to get me out of this house and let me have a reasonable existence, I've been worrying about POKEMON! HELLZ YEAH! In particular, I've been trying to explain to the world on how to best find a stupid fish called Feebas. Okay, background story:

About 2 years ago now, I decided to waste some hours of my life and catch a Pokemon called Feebas. The problem here is that its the hardest Pokemon to find in the game and where you can find it changes every day. Theres this HUGE lake to have to find it in, and only 4 of about the 400 tiles of lake have a chance of giving it to you, and those 4 tiles only have a 50% chance of it appearing. Its kinda hard to explain if you're not a pokenerd...

You can only fish (or "sample") one square at a time, and basically my problem is that the absolute fastest way to find this Pokemon when you have no clue where those 4 tiles are is to sample each square ONCE, and then move onto the next tile. Almost every site and book out there says to sample each tile twice or even more to find it the fastest, which is totally ridiculous. It ends up being a matter or probability, and by sampling a tile once you've already drastically lowered the chances that THAT tile is one of the tiles that holds feebas, whereas a fresh, unsampled tile holds a higher chance already of being one of those 4 tiles. Does anyone else understand this? x_X Please tell me if this makes sense, I'm attempting to educate the world here, xD
