Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
🔹 Does the algorithm work honestly?
Absolutely. The program uses a standard pseudo-random number generator (Math.random), which shuffles long and short matches every time you press the “Close your fist” button. It is impossible to predict the result.
🔹 How many matches can you use?
For convenient display on smartphone screens, we have limited the maximum quantity to 15 pieces. This is enough for most companies.
🔹 Is it possible to hide several short ones at once?
Yes! You can set any number of short matches (the main thing is that there are fewer of them than the total number). This is convenient if you need to select several people on duty at once.
