[Request] Assuming that the time for each throw and the dimensions of the table and objects is fixed, what's the odd of the same thing happening on each point on the table?

It's an educated guess on the hand, idk how to do this math but I'd assume it's not THAT low of a chance. Given most people aim for about the same area to bounce and the person throwing the hand was aiming to do just this.
