Almost every button press by the contestant on the Mulhern shows doesn't result on the animation stopping, it goes on, sometimes for 2 or 3 more squares before it stops and reaches "the right one". In the Walker era, it was either genuinely not predetermined or just edited a hell of a lot better to get the animation to stop immediately.
You can watch an episode, and see where there is a clear random pattern of highlighted squares, but see the current square change immediately upon a button press. It's effectively just an animation and nothing to do with the next square to be selected.
