So if I try logging in with phpmyadmin 256 times, will I succeed?
Maybe.
If you roll a dice 6 times, will one result be a 6?
The probably of NOT hitting a 6 value even after six throws is:
(5/6)^6 = 0.335
For the original question:
(255/256)^256 = 0.367
so yes, you'll succeed in 63.3% of the cases.
Probably.
