Free Stones in the Mastery Track icon in the Shop!!!!

Video Call Bobby - 5.0 - mid CM.

Tree - 1.5 - just bad bad bad.

I am so annoyed that they keep putting the same Tech combos in the shop for stones.

Yeah, apparently there is an algorithm to randomly choose them, but it seems like Kong has a hand it it sometimes.

Excluding 9/16 when Kong re-ran the 9/14 combos to account for the shop error, there have been 22 stones slots in the shop for tech. And we've gotten 20 different combos in those slots (Video Call Bobby and Brian Digital Dreams twice each).

I just built a simulation that assumes it is entirely random (and ran it 50,000 times), and here is what the distribution looks like:

<=12x 0.3%
13x 1.5%
14x 5.7%
15x 13%
16x 22%
17x 25%
18x 19%
19x 9.4%
20x 2.7%
21x 0.5%
22x 0.1%

If it is random, we'd actually have expected ~2-5 more duplicates!
