I have a question about how Slot 3 behaves.

My situation
I routinely do five accounts every day. They all have capes, so I always know the choice that is worth 40 vis wax for slot 3. When that is an expensive combination rune, I go looking for a cheaper alternative.

My Observation
It seems to me that I often see the same or similar choices that work well for several of my accounts. For example, three of my accounts might all have Lava as the choice for 40 vis wax, and Chaos might be a good alternative and have the same value in vis wax for each of them. Note, I have not made any careful notes. This is just an impression I've begun to form in my mind based on doing this activity for several months.

My speculation
I'm beginning to suspect that the sequence of runes for slot 3 is not completely randomized for each player. Instead, there may be a set number of sequences (in the same way that there are three sequences for slot 2) and each player is randomly assigned one of these sequences.

My question
Do you know if Jagex defines a limited (smallish) number of possible sequences for Slot 3?

This may be an example of the "birthday paradox".
Never uses treasure hunter keys. Never buys runecoins or bonds. Never pays extra for 'Premier' status or passes. Never will.

Tiamat I really appreciate this thread, and your commitment to maintaining it.

But your dates are truly confusing me. Tuesday 27th October combinations worked today, I never know what day it is any more!

Yeah, I know. Please bare with me. I've been having to use my phone lately. Forgive me. If you could please look at the last edit date. You'll see the time stamp under my post.
