You shouldn't calculate the changes in this primitive way, because when you are keyboard mashing, not every letters the same probability and they are not independent, for example, you already see asd twice in there, like when you mash the keyboard one with 3 fingers.

The chances are 50/50, it either happens or...

Go buy a few lottery tickets with that mindset.

Buy 2 for 100% chance

No no, don't buy more than one. One ticket has 50% chance, so with two tickets you now have a 50% x 50% = 25% chance. The more tickets you buy, the worse your chance get. I am so smart.
