what the FUCK are we looking at?

I'd have thought the random average distribution looked more like a bell curve, and that the higher the samples, the closer the average would approach 50.

OP is taking the inverse of the random numbers so the distribution is no longer uniform and you would expect the "average" to go up in this case the more samples you take because there is a huge tail going to infinity.
