No. Only 1 to 100, logically.Let's make a scenario to solve this.So let's say I have an all yellow, 9 quarter spinner board and I spin. It will always land on yellow, so it has a 9/9 or 100% chance of landing on yellow.Now we must create another scenario.For instance, I have one bottle, its starting direction was North, and I spin it. It will have a 1/4 chance of landing on North, East, South, or West because it will land in a random direction. For the 4 diagonal directions southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest it will be the same because there are only 4 directions, therefore giving the probability a 1 in 4 chance of landing on either one. :)
