Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: none yet. Get out ! What are the odds? 22 hundred and some odd numbers and the RNG picks the two nobody picked. I'd say about 50/50? I mean, it is random, right? The odds are exactly 1/2000 every time. More accurately, since only 1665 numbers were picked, that leaves 335 numbers unpicked. So the odds are 335/2000 or 67/400 (reduced as far as it goes, 67 being prime) odds of getting a number unpicked. Damn, I'm a nerd. |

The second hurricane to make landfall in New York. From this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_York_hurricanes I think it is 1635... That one has 2 pickers! |

Just pick the person whose last name is Bacon. You can't go wrong there. Kevin Bacon is a rich and successful actor; he really just plays the monthly LaRue contest for shits and giggles... I don't think he ever expects or intends to win, and he'd probably turn it down if he were to win. |
