    Picking Up the Kids (University Hospital 3) Go to the camera store and search for the kids (10032,10021) "Picture this!" Camera Store (inside)

    i interacted about 15 times and its 40% of succes
    i lost like 150 sp
    the chance that this happens is 0,0016777216% !!!

    According to my calculations (using google) the probability of failing 15 times in a row with 60% chance of failing is:

    0.6^15 = 0.000470184985 = 0.04% 

    Not very likely to happen but I cant rule it out.

    We get reports about streaks like this once in a while, maybe 1 every 3 months, so it cant happen very often unless its not reported, so I'm disinclined to think its a bug.

    There should be more choices in the quests, based on other skills or some sort of item/money cost. Having 1 choice you just repeat till you succeed is no fun if you ask me.

    As above, some time ago i thought about the possibility fo a failiure in the quest as an alternative scenario is it possible to implement? like,lets say 3 times trial then BAM -sorry you failed and yes quests should be more skill dependent, as Helo said.
