technically you are correct, but I believe the author is trying to get across is that each of those sequences are just as likely to come up as the ones with all the fives sides right in a row. Your statement rings true because there are a lot more sequences with the five sides spread not all touching
"But anyway, where I was going with this is simple. While the Devil might seem calm and collected, he's not really. He's petty, he's angry, and he's lazy. He doesn't like losing, and he definitely doesn't like being tricked," Eiro pointed out, beginning to guide his party through the structure around them. While he wasn't able to sense anything beyond the walls, he could still expand his senses through the halls. As they continued on, Eiro was not only creating a mental map of this place, which was useful even if it didn't technically make sense spatially, but he was also analyzing the patterns of this structure. Even if it seemed random, that wasn't really the case. Actually, compared to true randomness, if someone actively tried to make something 'appear' random, they ended up making it seem less random to someone that knew what they were looking for. If you had a sequence of ten coin-tosses, a complete, true fifty-fifty chance at either side appearing, it would be just as possible for a sequence of five 'tail' throws to appear as anything else. In the end, any combination of throws was just as likely as any other; that was the randomness. However, a sequence of the same results five times in a row simply didn't... look random enough. If you told someone to note down a random sequence of possible coin throws, they would only ever stick the same side right after each other two or three times in a row. What was truly random, and what 'appeared' random wasn't always the same.

I believe the author is trying to state that the exact sequence of five heads the five tails is just as likely as any other exact sequence, like the two alternating heads and tails sequences or heads tails tails heads tails tails heads heads heads tails

I have loved the building of the side stories and would love to hear about what happened or is happening with the twins, Micheal's family, or any of the other people who came. I also wait in quiet anticipation for the return of the Mountain forging Art and the Mystic Arts return, though I suspect mountain forging will have to wait till he has prime level power
Decent start, lets see where it goes
He has not shown the capability to 'freely' open portals to hell, he followed the rules of demonology, hence the mass sacrifice.
The Devil was envious of Eiro. Despite it all, no matter what he had done, no matter how much time he had spent gathering power and influence both in the central elemental plane and here in hell... no matter how much he had to grovel in front of the Lords of Hell, acting like a fool. Even when he killed some of those lords, devouring them, crushing their flesh between his teeth and using their blood to wash down the chalky bone stuck to the inside of his throat... he was never allowed to become a Lord himself.
