that is the odds of randomly predicting a perfect bracket. If you know a litle about basketball it drops to 1 in 128,000,000,000. So I guess your friend that completed a perfect bracket is full of it.

There is something odd about 128 Billion anyone know?

 

[okccpa]

So you're saying there's a chance

 

[JBaker]

Yeah. It's definitely never been done.

I read a statistic years ago that said if you filled out every possible bracket and printed them off on one page each, you could stack the paper from the earth to the sun 6,000 times or something.

Are you sure that's not the regulations from Owebamacare?:woot

Sort of like when the lottery is say 500$ million you can play every number possible but it will cost you like 180$ million.

I always play the lottery when I'm getting pot odds like that.
I think Mega Millions odds are 170 million:1, so I always play when the jackpot gets over 170.
The problem with buying all possible tickets is the possibility of the split pot.

Yep. You'd be okay as long as you won it all by yourself. After that, not so much.

That is close to what is odd about 128 Billion. 128 Billion is oddly close to the amount of deficit spending per month by our government over the last 4 years.

Milton Friedman famously said: “If the federal government took over the Sahara Desert, in five years there would be a shortage of sand.”

Bonus question: What is the 9? (the 854 is millions, the 036 is billions, the 372 is trillions, the 223 is quadrillions).

Your odds are 1 in 9.2 what? I had no clue and had to look it up.

Edit: maybe it is. just ran some quick numbers and it is crazy
