For those that entered Buffett's billion dollar bracket challenge:

odds of winning the Grand Prize are 1:9,223,372,036,854,775,808.” That’s 1 in 9 quintillion and change. See the image below for what a mere 1 quintillion pennies would look like (the larger white sliver is the Empire State Building).

Another way to think about it: If all 317 million people in the U.S. filled out a bracket at random, you could run the contest for 290 million years, and there’d still be a 99 percent chance that no one had ever won.

I think the money for the billion $ challenge is pretty safe. Maybe I'll have my daughter make my picks for the $billion.

In. Going with the strategy that's brought me the most success; looking at the match up and spending 3 seconds of thought on the winner.

the monkey's got a better chance than we do...

I think the money for the billion $ challenge is pretty safe. Maybe I'll have my daughter make my picks for the $billion.

brought to mind something I read: In an infinite universe of infinite universes it is possible that a monkey could recreate Shakespeare's Macbeth, word-for-word, in its entirety.
