It really ought to be less than 20% in the “need it” section, though… since there are six tetris shapes, and when you have the perfect setup like that you *never* seem to get an I-piece

I do like the tetris-board-as-bar touch, though!

I’m pretty sure that’s why it’s labeled “don’t need it”.

…

You must be really bad at tetris… I mean, look at the right side. That’s not even ready/needing of a straight. Good idea, executed poorly and over-done oh-so-often.

When you mis-click with the I-block, it’s a lot worse than not getting it.

Very Excellent Graph. I look at these often and think to myself that with slightly less effort we would all be better off. i will assume that this graph to almost no thought to come up with and nearly as little energy to create therefore making it one of the best. As with all humor, the more thought put into a joke the less funny it will turn out. Bravo to this graph for an Epic WIN

It’s not often that my graphjam wishes come true, but, well, here we are: http://graphjam.com/2008/11/02/song-chart-memes-reasons-to-play-tetris/#comment-16964

Although, if the game is over in the “don’t need it” option, then wouldn’t that probability drop to zero?

you always get the square ones at the worst possible time, as well.

Isn’t that the truth! I think it’s called Murphy’s law of Tetris. When you need a straight piece, all you get is 6 of those stupid s pieces that are worthless at ANY time.
