AUDIO: THE ODDS OF PICKING ALL 63 GAMES CORRECTLY FOR MARCH MADNESS
March Madness started last night (Tuesday, March 14). Picking all the games correctly for March Madness has proven elusive so far. Maybe it’s because the odds of getting every result correct are one in nine quintillion. According to Tim Chartier – distinguished visiting professor at the US National Museum of Mathematics – nine quintillion is a nine followed by 18 zeroes. Or more simply put, according to Chartier, it is two to the power of 63. That’s two multiplied by two 63 times. To put it into context, he says it’s like someone picking one second in 292 billion years, and you have to guess which second it is. He says that the height of nine quintillion dollar bills stacked on top of one another is equivalent to the distance of going from Earth to Pluto over 60 times.
* It’s the same odds as math nerd Tim Chartier, distinguished visiting professor at the US National Museum of Mathematics, getting laid.
* Dummy! If you tried climbing that pile of dollar bills, it would fall over before you got three feet off the ground!
* He deserves to have the “distinguished” taken out of his title.
* How much better are the odds if you pick the games using ChatGPT?
* What I’m hearing is, there’s a chance. Call my bookie.
