If I randomly choose a number from 1 to 3, I have the same chance of picking each one.

Whether any real process is actually random is another matter.

No. I don't need to know that. If I choose randomly, then I can't be psyched out. It doesn't matter where he puts it, I have the same chance of being initially right. All that matters is whether I'm initially right, or not.
