Potions of wonder gave me Wish twice in same game
Random number generator behaved oddly on potion of Wonder

Not sure if the probabilities are correct - but in current game, I have drunk 3 potions of wonder (uncursed?)
One gave me Magic Map, the other two gave me Wish.

While this is possible, it hints that the RNG is acting up.
Happened on R2:6 , as a High Elven Merchant (rings)

Next potion of wonder granted Greater Identify - was uncursed one.
Seems a bias towards rare / high PP spells

I've got to lay your worries to rest. Well, not entirely (but almost) since I have 2.3.8, and as far as I know there could be race/class specific issues, though 4 tries is not statistically significant data.
Anyway, I conducted a test with 60 000 potions of wonder, and the results are completely consistent with a uniform distribution among the spells.

@Mobius did you have some crashes during your game?do you use autosaved backups for loading? I have some wierd rng boost after game crash these days.

@JagaJazzist - no crashes. I do have intrinsic luck, fortune, and the Ankh on me. Time to use Exploration Mode here.
