I was thinking about the probabilites as '5' being neutral, i.e., an equal chance of being selected as any other '5' ... so if you had 5 cells of '5' each selectioni each cell would have a 20% chance of being slected ... where as other cells excluding 1 and 9 would have a slightly higher or lower chance of selection. For example (according to my idle speculation!) if you had 4 cells of '5' and one of '6' the '5s' might have a 18% chance and the '6' a 28% chance ... to be modified if there were 3 '5s' and 2 '6s' in some fashion to something like 16% for '5s' and 26% for '6s.'



That's absolutely how she works.

But you seem to be implying one small thing that's wrong: The value of 1 has no absolute significance, the way 9 does. "1" just means "Really really, low; almost never play this".
