    If your goal is to access a random account as quickly as possible, why would you ever try anything other than the next most common PIN?

    It’s not like Vegas where longer odds = higher payout. Less common PIN just means any given account is less likely.to use it, and therefore it’s less likely to be correct on any given attempt.

    If you look at it another way, the brightness of each square on that grid is the probability that there is a prize inside. If you wanted the most prizes as quickly as possible, picking the darkest avsilsble square is always a bad choice.
