Those who are saying, "Unlikely things happen sometimes" have no idea just HOW unlikely this is. Read on below to learn about this:
----------------------------------------------------
The odds of one Yo is 1/18 -- or 5.6%.
Now, let's throw out the first one, because a Yo will eventually be rolled. So the question is -- what are the odds of 17 more consecutive Yos being rolled right after that?
Well, that math problem is easy. You take 1/18 and make it to the power of 17. So it's (1/18)^17.
And the answer? 1 in 2185911559738696531968.
Approximately 1 in 2 sextillion.
How long are those odds?
Let's say a craps roll occurs every 10 seconds. It doesn't (because the game pauses far more often than that), but let's go with that number.
At that rate, you would see 17 Yos in a row once every 692 trillion years. And we're talking about 17 Yos in a row. Change it to 18, and that goes up to once every 12 quadrillion years.
I do not believe any event has ever taken place in human history which had a 1 in 2 sextillion chance of occurring.
Needless to say, Alan has never seen 18 Yos in a row, nor has anyone anytime anywhere.
Unless the dice were loaded.
However, I don't think Alan is lying or delusional. I think he just didn't see it right.
