Happy Lucky Lottery is a Scam
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2018
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door reminds us to always be skeptical of gambling, lotteries, lootboxes, and the like. Happy Lucky Lottery is not random, despite popular belief throughout the game's 14-year lifespan.
Earlier this month I posted a tweet where I missed the lottery by one single digit. Sure enough, Jdaster64 informed me I was guaranteed to lose that day anyway, because "Happy Lucky Lottery is a total fraud." We started exchanging some messages, and he provided a number of memory addresses and cleared up misconceptions about the lottery system, which immensely helped during testing and the recording of this video.
I misspoke in this video when saying there’s a 1/10,000 chance of seeing a daily number 1 digit off your own. This was intended to convey the chance of winning a truly random Happy Lucky Lottery, but based on my wording, it’d actually be a 1/5,000 chance if the lottery were truly random.
Important detail from PistonMiner:
"The speed of the time base counter is, as far as I know, not, as you describe in the video, related to the original CPU clock of the Gekko, but is, according to the official design documents by IBM, quote: "clocked at a frequency that is one-fourth that of the bus clock" (162 MHz / 4 = 40.5 MHz). (see datasheets.chipdb.org/IBM/Powe... for the full reference, this is in section 2.3.5.1)"

Great stuff; the world must know how un-happy and un-lucky the Lottery really is.
As an aside, I'd be interested in knowing what happens if the in-game timer were to roll over mid-play session, but sadly, I don't have the 14,333 years of patience (after setting the system time to 2099-12-31, naturally) to test that empirically.
jdaster64 Wh- Bu- This video was just posted. Why does it say 15 hours ago?
How did you comment 15 hours ago???
Since he helped work on this, I gave him access to it when it was uploaded last night
Not sure how but in theory it's possible. When you hack the GameCube Clock Value in TTYD, it instantly jumps back to the GameCube system time. So you'd have to hack system time directly
Ayyy you're back!
There's some concerning implications when toadette bursts into tears because she can't gamble...

"NEVER TRUST ANOTHER PERSON"
Says the guy running a *scam lottery* .
Well, as you said, it’s a scam. Therefore, he would absolutely say that to tie into the scam.
Maybe it was actually advice.
awesomestgamerboy Yeah, maybe it’s reverse psychology
I wanted him to do something *_deadly_*
This is outrageous. It's unfair
To be honest, even if it was a scam, I still think Lucky's breakdown when you cheat could be terrifying to a kid not knowing what could happen.
DreamLandBuds it has strong creepypasta vibes
reminds me of Mr Resetti
It was very unsettling to me just as some random stoned 25 year old who's never played this game
Basically DDLC 0.5
Not only would it have terrified me as a kid, but it would also cause me to cry for hours and never want to touch the game again.
I might be being way too serious here, but honestly, I don't like this kind of stuff in video games. As someone who was a very sensitive, fearful child that cried at the drop of a hat, I find this sort of thing...cruel and vindictive. Obviously, kids need to be taught not to do certain things, and sometimes they need to experience the consequences of their actions, but...this just seems unnecessary to me.
the fact did Nintendo thought making the happy lucky lottery a scam like real lotteries was a good idea
Caelin Bevan i mean compared to 1 in 10000 it is pretty fair
Real lotteries are truly random
@@zacharymogel9087 yeah, but you know, wait a year to get a price always is way better than a 1 in 10 million possibility. In real life one person can win, but even if you play everyday in your entire life there's a great chance that you will never get the jackpot.
@@clokie6671 You could make it so that one digit is always the same as tge actual number, randomize the placement, and then randomize the other 3 digits. 1 in 100 should be doable while also being random

@@rocketdog734 Just because I'm cheating death doesn't mean I'm cheating TTYD.
Next video: _Cheating Paper Mario for 1,000 Years Is Okay._
Yes you can. Stryder calculates a 100 year distance (from 2000 to 2099) as about 128 quadrillion. So 1000 years would only be about 1.28 quintillion. And he lists the maximum values in a signed 64-bit integer as over 9 quintillion. So the value is perfectly in range. It wouldn't roll over to a negative for 7000 years or so (if my math is correct).
it apparently takes 1000 years to open a door.
how slow would someone have to be to be able to do that
*Makes a lottery thats unwinable for several months*
Happy Lucky Lottery guy: YOU'RE the cheater!
Mario: "Hmmmm..."
🤔
*Thonks in Italian*
Technically several YEARS
Guy 888 no?
And I bet, if you do it just right, it crashes.
I still can't get over how Lucky tries to guilt trip you with child gambling.
It’s the funniest thing
Nintendo did stuff like this A Lot back then. It's kind of baffling how things like this - or worse, Mr. Resetti - actually made it out the door at some point.

@@Mama-Luigi I like both
@@Mama-Luigi huh, I could go for one too... hold on, where's Toad Servant #5492?
i mean, she's secretly evil, so it makes sense. for all we know she's running the lottery behind the scenes, and is upset that it was cancelled because she can't steal anyone's money that day.
Honestly, I kinda feel like the Happy Lucky Lottery being designed in such a way is actually kinda fitting, considering it's located in Rogueport, a town notorious for its thieves and pickpockets. Having a cheater manning the Lottery where he knows exactly how many days it'll be until you win, scamming you into buying more expensive tickets if you feel unsure about your current one just to reset the prize days, and then when you cheat the system, he guilt trips YOU and makes you buy a new ticket for a crazy price? That sounds exactly like something a lot of Rogueport's residents would do, lol.
Yeah, I'm very convinced that happy lucky lottery is a front for Don Pianta. That Bob-omb is up to some shady business.

I just love how vivian is smiling during the whole breakdown of the host like "this is fine"..
She's used to this sort of thing by now, thanx to her sisters.
Vivian is probably used to it by now.
@@boomkittyFX Used to what, exactly? Not being able to trust people? I thought that's why she's one of Mario's party members?
@@shawnfields2369 verbal beat downs. Her eldest sister was an awful person to her but was nice to the one who couldn’t speak.
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 Yeah, I remember. Beldam was always nice to Marilyn, but not Vivian, which is why she went and joined Mario's party, and helped beat up her sisters, at least until the end of the game, where everyone is messaging Mario about how they're doing, since Mario and his friends defeated the Shadow Queen, and Goombella mentions that Vivian and her sisters are getting along well, and that they're actually acting like a family, and are treating each other nicely. Which I didn't expect, since Beldam was the one who basically lead Grodus to the Shadow Queen's grave so he could bring her back, using Princess Peach's body as a sacrifice(holy crap, that might be the darkest plot in a Paper Mario game I've ever heard), and even though it looks like she killed Grodus, even after he gets zapped by the Shadow Queen, he's still alive, he's just a hopping metal head thingy now. And the computer that was in love with the Princess, is also brought back; and the X-Nauts stop being evil, and Vivian and her sisters agree to act like a family, and for some reason, every female friend of Mario's reveal that they were in love with Mario(probably because ladies love the 'stache, am I right?), but damn, this game might have the best plot of any Mario game ever. Also the darkest. Super Paper Mario is also a contender, but this game came out first, although I won't lie, SPM's plot does have just as good characters, plot, gameplay, character development, and villain backstory, like Mr. L, Dimentio, Count Bleck, Mimi(the creepy spider girl), and even a good reason for Dimentio to betray Bleck after it's over, and he becomes Super Dimentio. It's more of a traditional Mario RPG, but it works. Plus, you team up with Bowser, Peach, and Luigi! For almost the whole adventure. And when your companion sacrifices herself at the end, well, I'll admit, I may have shed a tear or 2. But why can't Paper Mario games just be as good as The Thousand-Year-Door or Super Paper Mario? I mean, if you liked the other Paper Mario games, that's perfectly fine, I'm only saying, I just think more people wanted an experience like the first 3 Paper Mario games is all. Sorry this has been going on so long, by the way.
People are going to have a hard time playing on their Game Cubes in the 22nd century.
No they won't, just set the time to 2050
There's most likely already a patch today you could use to manually allow yourself to change the GC clock past any year dude.
@@colleenflattery4755 no it goes higher but you can't manually change it to do that. If you I don't know watched the video you'd see that it does that.
Considering AV is dead now, how dead will it be then?
Jo Seph GD I mean there are a lot of mod guides for HDMI gamecubes, you can find some on ebay for pretty cheap anyway, and I’m sure something similar will be available in the future for whatever succeeds what we have now
In way, the lottery being a scam makes sense. You are playing said lottery in a place called 'Rogueport'. A place where almost everyone has some form of shady dealings going on and likely wouldn't think twice about cheating people out of their money in one way or another.
So it's all in character? Interesting
Yes, that's pretty much what I'm saying. XD
...Wow, that actually makes a lot of sense. Never thought of it like that, I just assumed that Lucky was being a jerk for the laughs. I mean, I guess that explains why he's literally just a recolor of an already existing enemy.
Except the fact that the lottery working in this way actually gives you an increased chance of winning, so it's actually a generous thing
Only in time... and there's no real way of knowing this without testing the system extensively yourself or, as shown in this video, pretty much looking into what's going on behind the scenes in the game with the lottery.
The house always wins.
Except within 335-395 days of your first visit to a casino.
But other than that... the house ALWAYS wins.
fenneko best girl
Ring-a-ding, baby.
unspoken, but accurate is that it makes the badge a minimum of 3,350 coins. that's if you are super lucky. If you are less lucky, it could be almost 4000 coins.
So much effort was put into half-assed anti-cheating detection and a dramatic cutscene, but none into actually making a legit lottery.
Considering lotteries are scams by themselves, I would say they actually put a lot of effort in it...
not really half-assed if they put effort into it, is it?
It wasn’t much effort at all. It’s just a simple software installed to read programming numbers and to behave accordingly to the dictates of the ranges of those numbers.
It just seems complicated because programming is tricky to explain to laymen.
@@itsjjstyles Yea well effort doesn't always equate to quality. The anti-cheat system must have got set off on countless people simply because their country turned its clocks back an hour...
@@taleladar effort doesnt have to equal quality
Not only did Nintendo intentionally make this lottery a scam, but they actually thought ahead and knew that people would get around it using the internal clock, so they decided to punish them for doing so.
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen in a Mario game.
Imagine doing something like this in GameCube Animal Crossing, we would’ve all been screwed.

This reminds me of something similar in Yokai watch. If the game detects you screwed around with the system clock, it increases the chances of a brutally powerful boss spawning in. There’s just one flaw: half the time, the reason you were messing with the clock will be in an area that he can’t spawn, and the other half you’re specifically doing it so you can fight him, all the while chances are only increased, and is still rng based if he spawns or not. And the final problem: you are still entirely capable of sneaking away from the boss for no penalty, and you can get rare items while doing so.
Which boss are you talking about again? I can think of two or three different bosses you might be talking about and I want to ensure I don't get it wrong.
@@matthewsanii4919 any of the terror time oni.
To make things worse, sometimes it’s not even your fault, as if the 3DS runs out of battery, the clock resets, activating the anti cheat all because you left your 3DS on for too long without charging it
I think they fixed this in YKW2 and onward by disabling the Crack-a-Kai. But man I feel bad for those people that do daylight savings that play YKW (especially when Daylight Savings ends)
@@epicwappy20amn that sucks. I'm betting the YKW games on Switch (YKW4 & YKW1 for Nintendo Switch) removed the anti-cheat, since the switch has an automatic daylight savings change. But man i feel bad for the people that play YKW 1 - 3 and/or Busters on the 3DS that try to play through the game for hours.
Wow, okay, that “cheater punishment” is legitimately terrifying.
If you do it again he kills you
He screams and Mario bleeds photorealistic blood
.....You think that, since Mario is made of paper, he bleeds red paper? I mean that would make sense.
@@Dustin_VG nah. He explodes and ruins your game
It's pretty creepy, I was actually a bit unsettled by it
holy crap that's terrifying (when turning back the clock)

Let me get this straight. They put a minigame thing in that requires you to play a single player casual RPG for almost a year to get the most useful item. They presented it as if it was random chance, not even letting you know you literally have to do a "daily login" for almost a year to win first prize. It's only possible to find out how it works through hacking. They then put in some kind of punishment for circumventing this ridiculous thing?
What the fuck devs.
I mean, by modern standards this is par for the course, it's just really bloody weird that Nintendo of all people was doing this so many years ahead, and without having a pay 2 win method of circumventing it.
Kinda justifies just hacking both badges in.
That's what I did
It is just one way to get the badges, theyre available in other easier ways in the game

You better believe it.
And it's the exact opposite for knowledge that will help us in our everyday lives.
I found that statistics was one of the most useful classes I ever took.
So, by proxy, understanding how gambling and gambling scams work is helpful, especially since it's one of the most lucrative (and therefore prolific) rackets in the world.
It also made me a much better equities trader, since probabilities are the difference between stacking wins vs. stacking losses.

Hi Swanky! I watch your channel.

It was a real addiction there for a while though, the only addiction I can honestly say I had. I can play Animal Crossing responsibly now though. ;)

Graham Merph "What? The Lottery? UNFAIR?! I would never do that!"
-A cheating bob-omb
He’s still alive
To be super pedantic:
In a fair random game, I'm pretty sure the probability of getting a number just one off from your own number is a lot closer to 1 in 5000, not 1 in 9000. This is because for any number you pick, there are two numbers that are one off from your number putting the probability at 2/9999 or pretty much 5000. Unless you got 0001 or 9999, but the probability of getting either of those AND getting one off from either of them is negligibly small--- 2*(1/9999)*(1/9999) or about 1 in 50 million.

Nevermind the lottery system, am I the only one impressed by how they included all that dialogue just in case someone figured out the system and manipulated the clock? Thats some serious dedication to your game.
Impressed, no. It's lazy programming, it was like "Hey dis bitch has a clock, let's use the clock."
"Yeah but it's not an atomic clock bro, they could just change the date."
"Just frighten the bejesus out of em if they try, I already came up with one whole idea on how the lottery could work, we can't go back to the drawing board now!"
I did! You have to encode a specific way to get it in.
Not really. Just save an 64-bit integer that tells the time on save, then check that compared to the current time when you talk to the NPC.
And I will forever love TTYD for little things like this!
If the current date is before the last ticket bough/read, the game wouldn't know how to handle it
so they had to make something for it anyways to avoid an error or really weird values...
they just decide to punish possible cheaters instead of just reset the values if that happen.

However with paper Mario I experienced the bomb omb asking me if I cheated. Genuinely confused why this was happening I assumed it was something RNG related I didn't know about and denied doing it since I quite literally didn't, then coughed up the 500 coins not knowing how to fix it.
All these years it mystified me how that ever occurred and now I finally know.
All these years later and haven't seen these cousins again, making this story my last interaction with them...
Never got the chances to say fuck you to the two of them for breaking all my shit in summer of '07.
Damn that host's reaction was starting to get close to creepypasta territory
STRYDER7X IS BACK, THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

WOOOOO
lol

Finally done!

Congratulations to everyone coming back to this after the remake has come out.

Hey, sounds like every greedy AAA publisher these days.
@@hfactor66 That bob-omb is the precursor to all of those.
THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEND TO ME WITH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME !! legit I was like 12 I turned my game cube on and went into the menu to see if I had the right mem card in and my mom mentioned I should change the clock, so I did and well...… 500 coins … because I happened to be playing that game next.
I was thinking when he explained that - what about DST?
daylight savings is an American thing, I bet the devs at Nintendo never even heard of such a tradition and never factored that in when making their anti-cheating scene.
@@BigAutisticDaddy it actually started in Britain - so it's a British thing that North America has adopted.
But yes - Japanese developers probably had no reason to assume this would happen.
DST is a European thing too.
Many nations follow DST, but Japan doesn't. It's actually a little weird, because most places that don't are on the equator, but Japan isn't.
Welcome back!!
Yea but for how long is the real question
Is that a gamer
But don't you see? He was e v a l u a t i n g ALL THIS TIME!
Hey SimpleFlips, cool verified checkmark

A lottery is a scam? Wow, whod've guessed
Real life lottery is at least well regulated.
6:02 I remember this scared my friend when he set the clock back for Daylight Saving Time, lol
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IS FOR NOOBS
Yeah and school ends a hour early when covid wasn't around

Holy crap, that random bomb dialogue just solidifies how awesome TTYD really is.
I remember seeing it as a kid and being pretty damn terrified. TTYD is truly a gem.
TTYD is decent, but I'm sure there are more and better textboxes in this game
Best game of all time
I 100% the game back in the day and had no idea that dialogue existed how cool. Love these videos.
Be my friend I saw you on a puffin forest video
So I finally know why I was accused of cheating at this lottery game which I was only mildly interested in. I had absolutely no idea what he was going on about a 'clock' for, because I didn't realize he was talking about the Gamecube Clock, so of course I said I hadn't done anything even though Lucky was guilt tripping me and the game was strongly suggesting I had somehow done this.
I don''t think I will ever remember the exact circumstances this happened under, beyond having just discovered the Game Cube clock and messing with it because I could. But like everyone is saying, Lucky, you're literally about to blow up at us for cheating when your lottery is rigged in such a way that we could even do this, and yet *WE'RE* the cheaters and if we were to own up to it(Even if we don't know what we actually did or that it was cheating) you will claim you can *Never Trust Another Person* and no matter what we now have to pay 500 coins to start things up again for everyone ..............................................................................................................
*Only in Rougeport, people.*
Being one number off isn't "about 1 in 9000" in a fair game. Since you could be off above or below, there are twice as many ways to be off-by-one than there are to be perfect. It's more like 1/5000 if the game is fair.
Bomb gets angry
Mario:oooooowowowow!!!
Vivian:this is fine.
Cheating at the Happy Lucky Lottery Crashes Paper Mario.
OK not really, but Lucky threatens to do so. Honestly an immense overreaction if you ask me.
_Never trust another person..._

Says the guy who started up a untrustworthy, scammy lottery game in the first place...
Genius.
If the GCN clock were to overflow from 2099 to 2000, things wouldn’t go well for the lottery.
Y2K for Happy Lucky Lottery?
The clocked can go very far past 2099, but you can't MANUALLY set the clock past that time. There is no possible way to actually get an overflow without hacking. The clock can go all the up to the year 22592, but you can all set it to 2099. Meaning that you will have to wait at least 20,592 years to get an overflow.
Waiting 20,592 years crashes Paper Mario
Everyone, it works different in the remake! I'm not entirely sure how it's different, but multiple people have reported getting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes within just a few days, so it definitely doesn't work on the same system anymore.
it works the same but it's now possible to randomly win before the day ranges
Remember: Animal Crossing for the Gamecube is reaching the point where the calendar must be rolled back in six years.

Wait, really?
So does that mean for almost a year after the game's release, *no one knew what the first prize was* besides the dev team and anyone with inside knowledge?
Also if anyone is curious, if you continue to lie about changing the clock, the next day Lucky will discover anyways thanks to the nearby Doogan.
You step into a town with a name like Rogueport and a grifter can't even have respect for another grift. I tell you kids these days
So if you're playing this game naturally (not going for specific accomplishments like speed-runs, etc.), it's going to take you about a year to have a chance of winning top prize.
Unless you're the Game Grumps, you've got no chance.
Wait does this mean that if you want to 100% the game, you have to get the power plus from HLL since it’s a unique instance of the badge?
Yup
@@leocarrascomoreschi6147 best to pretend that badge doesnt exist.
@@chaosinc.382 That's what I do. You don't even need the Power Plus badge to beat the game. It's not worth your time to try and get it. Even if you love this game, that badge is just probably not even worth it. Neither is the pit of 100 trials, but at least the people there don't have an existential crisis if can't beat the pit of 100 trials. Even though that's just more tacked on bs to one of the best GCN games ever made. But why try and 100% this game anyways? It doesn't get you anything, and it's not satisfying or rewarding. It's just, nothing. And I love TTYD. But there's no reason to 100% It. Unless you're secretly The Completionist, and want a glorious beard like his or something?
Which lottery isn’t a scam?

True.

I’m still hitting that block
(The almost 400 years one)
Son, come closer. There is something you must do. When I die, take this controller. Keep hitting this block, and when you too grow old, say this same thing to your son. This shall be a memorial for generations to come. And some day, we shall crash Paper Mario.
Oh yay *400 YEARS LATER* Crash
Daniel Evans Power goes out
Let's just hope whoever does that has a surge protector.
And a backup power supply.
The message when you admit to cheating reminded me of Giygas from Earthbound
Why, just why.
Me: *changes inside clock foward*
Game: Wait that’s illegal.....
Me: *changes clock backward*
Game: WHAT THE FU-
it only realizes when you change it back tho
D MAS r/wooooosh
@@miniwoona402: but the game never realizes that changing it forward is illegal so, not woosh
D MAS it’s a meme, a very iconic one at that but you probably don’t know so.... r/woosh
D MAS whenever someone exploits something that’s completely allowed but seems it shouldn’t they put a blue halo character saying “wait that’s illegal!”
I like how Vivian just quietly watches while Lucky is having his mental breakdown and Mario is waving his arms freaking out.
She's a ghost, giant Bobomb, what does it mean to her when she's already dead?
Bobomb used Explosion!
It doesn't affect Vivian...
Guess my plan to fast forward a thousand years to bypass the thousand year door won't work... 🤔
AbomiYeti big brain
the reaction to admitting that you cheated would terrify a kid lmao, it's so smart
I love how this dude is about to explode and is having an existential crisis, and Vivian is just like “This is fine”.
Watched all your videos when you were gone and glad you’re back.
When you go back, the game becomes Happy Lucky Literature club
i'm choking SDSDS
Haha
I was thinking that too
Why is the bomb so pissed off anyway? It’s supposed to be determined by random chance, so why would they be so upset you changed the time? They’re just exposing their fraudulent business practices
Like what was said in the video, the game can't check if you manually went forward in time or not. Yet it can check if you went backwards. Seeing as you get a new roll every day for a ""random"" number it means it could check to see if you manually tried to change the clock for a new roll.
Though yeah now we know what *really* happens.. Turning the clock back isn't needed at all.
20 years later it still does feel the same way
6:18 We now know that Toadette is a gambling addict
But does it crash Paper Mario?
It does, after 14,333 years of waiting and setting the clock to 2099 when we’re actually in 2018.
Science.
No, but punching a Sonic 3D Blast cartridge might.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I HATE BEING BEATEN TO THE JOKE LOL
dead meme
No but Lucky will... if you pull the cheater stunt a second time it results in a Game Over. An overlooked fact about this whole scenario.
What else do you expect from a town like rogueport
i like how as hes freaking out and mario is panicking vivian is just smiling as if nothing is wrong.
I suspected as much when I replayed the game 2 years ago. When I played it initially as a kid, I thought it was a random draw and that I was just unlucky, I was so happy when I won 3rd prize which was a massive deal. But playing the game in my adulthood, I wondered about how this worked and so I messed with the clock, I skipped ahead 1 day until I had won all prizes.
That’s what got me interested, I did the same but logged the exact day count I won and I quickly realized that the days I won were within 5-10 days of each other and they line up perfectly with the range you displayed, it was then that I was reliably predicting the days I’d win in a save by jumping ahead and that’s when I realized this lottery was entirely scripted and you would never win before your preselected win date, very fascinating information and you definitely confirmed my suspicions more solidly than my guess and check method!
A STRYDER VIDEO
Welcome back
This Stryder is much better than the OTHER Stryder on RUclips...
That's in EA's words:
"SuRpRiSe MeChAnIcS"
The "fourth to first, right to left" thing always baffled me. They still do that for Pokemon Pearl's Lotto as well, and to this day, I still think of it as just another way to screw me over.
Now that I think about it, maybe it has to do with the game being from Japan.
That thing about daylight savings time really bothered me a lot when I used to adjust the time on my 3DS. Even if I waited roughly a day, I'd get scolded by every single game that used the clock in some way and then would have to wait several days before they started working again. At least that's how I remember it, the last year or two I stopped doing that because it just gets in the way.
Eewww that that bulbasaur and mudkip combination.
@@Dougy heh, yeah usually when people comment on it they either say it's ugly or adorable.
I have been saying its ugly for months. You may not remember me lol
This is due to how the RTC (real-time clock) on the 3DS works. The actual time value doesn't matter, and is probably at some point in the 1970s or so on an unmodified system (no joke). Changing the time in initial system setup or in System Settings just changes an offset from the internal RTC time value. Games can easily detect changes to this offset and refuse to let you do daily things for however long until they've gotten over how Nintendo didn't include a DST flag in the Date/Time settings.
Through homebrew, you can change the internal RTC time value directly to avoid being penalized since the offset stays the same.
Thanks, that explains it.

Holy crap, I've never known that. My mind was completely blown away by that.
