its was Yahoo and Buffet together not both of them individually offering a billion, it was 500,000,000 lump sum or 25 mil a year for 40 years. here is a good link to the rules and some background Quicken Loans Partners With Yahoo Sports To Launch Its ‘Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge’ | Quicken Loans Press Room

Impossible, I don't think anyone will ever get a perfect bracket. The odds are, 2 ^ 63 = 9.2 x 10^18, or 9.2 E+18
Or roughly, this is a nine, followed by 18 zeroes! 1 in 9,000,000,000,000,000,000. If you stack sheets of paper up the stack would exceed the moon. That would be awesome, a dream!!!!!!! Forget the money your famous for pretty much ever lol.-Im not a mathematician, but you can count on me.

That number is only right if you are randomly picking each game, and assume that that each outcome has a 50% probability of occurring. Basically your equation doesn't factor skill of the teams, or the picker into it. Come on your a mathematician how can you not account for variable change?
lol i kno i am being totally ridiculous i am i just drunk and felt like nit picking.Last edited by nab76; 03-29-2014 at 12:21 AM.
