3 * 0.00452^2 = 0.0061%, or about 1 in 16315.

3 * 0.00452 * 0.00452 = 0.0061%

like the Man said-- if you can believe benny the cunt.

.0061% ---> to the layman = 61/10000 or is that x 100 ( 61/1000000)

Reminds me of the argument I had with someone about doors and prizes...

You are asked to pick one of three doors. non-thinking player are behind two of them, and a new car is behind another.

After you choose your door, but before it's revealed to you, the presenter opens one of the doors you didn't choose and reveals a non-thinking player.

He then asks if you'd like to switch from your initial choice to the remaining closed door.

Do you switch?

Was it an argument you had, or had you just watched "21"??

[Shannon]

Statistically, yes you do switch....

But I am stubborn and would go against the statistics and stay with my first choice!! lol
