I see results like the below when running Random.nextInt(3) 81 times:
200010202002112102222211012021020111220022001021101222222022210222220100000100010
Notice the large contiguous blocks: 000, 22222, 111, 222222, 222, 22222, 00000, 000.
Intuitively, the sequence doesn't seem naturally / "real-world coin flip" random.
For example, to achieve 6x contiguous 2s there's only a 0.4% chance (AFAIK) and for 5x contiguous values there's a 1.2% chance ... so it seems unlikely I should keep seeing patterns like this in the output.
Would this happen in the real-world with a 3-sided coin? Or is this an expected deviation from "true random" when using Java's Random.nextInt(exclusiveMax) method?
