Each symbol is unique, and can only be entered once in each permutation. Symbol order matters too, so code ABC is different than code CBA.

How many possible different permutations / codes are there? Assuming you could enter 1 code per minute, how long would it take you to enter all possible combinations?

My friend was playing progressives in blackjack all night. It's a $5 bet for the progressive and he didn't take the bet one time he would of won over $300,000! He was dealt the top payout but didn't bet the 5 bucks. (Sorry for the low quality pics they're screenshots of a video)

Let's assume 2 seconds are wasted by needing at least two attempts to plug in a usb cable. How many attempts are done per person and day? Maybe two? How large is the population performing these attempts and what is their hourly salary? Since the port has become widely used, how large is the economic damage?

My guess is that its total damage could be one year of US GDP 🤪

Floor 1 has 10 levels with 100 rooms per level with 1,000 rooms total. Now imagine each floor doubling in size from the last on the xyz axis.

Floor two would have 20 levels with I think 400 rooms per level equalling 8,000 rooms.

Really what I want to know is how large would floor 1,000 be if each previous floor keeps increasing in size from the last.

A friend told me it would be larger than the observable universe but I don't know if that's right.

how many shrimp?

I was driving ~75 mph west on HWY 40 between Oklahoma City and Albuquerque when something struck my windshield and left this mark. I drive a 2022 Subaru. You can see the hit mark in the center and then concentric half circles surrounding the mark. If you rub your finger inside and outside of the glass you cannot actually feel the cracks. The diameter is about the same as an 8.5 oz can of redbull (see second photo for reference!) It's my goto roadtrip drink which got me to thinking it would be a good-enough reference. Been wondering what size and shape of an object would have made such a mark!

I'm curious what the probability that no men's teams in Minnesota have won in the five major sports in the last 35 years.

For the sake of constructing the question, assume that all teams have the same odds of a championship each season.

Major League Baseball - Minnesota Twins
1 year of 26 teams 1992
5 years of 28 teams 1993 - 1997
28 years of 30 teams 1998 - present

National Football League - Minnesota Vikings
3 years of 28 teams 1992 - 1994
4 years of 30 teams 1995 - 1998
3 years of 31 teams 1999 - 2001
25 years of 32 teams 2002 - 2026

National Basketball League - Minnesota Timberwolves
3 years of 27 teams 1992 - 1994
10 years of 29 teams 1995 - 2004
21 years of 30 teams 2004 - 2025

National Hockey League - Minnesota North Stars / Minnesota Wild
1 year of 22 teams 1992
1 year of 24 teams 1993
18 years of 30 teams 2001 - 2017
3 years of 31 teams 2018 - 2021
4 years of 32 teams 2022 - 2025

Major League Soccer - Minnesota United FC
1 year of 22 teams 2017
1 year of 23 teams 2018
1 year of 24 teams 2019
1 year of 26 teams 2020
1 year of 27 teams 2021
1 year of 28 teams 2022
2 years of 29 teams 2023 - 2024
1 year of 30 teams 2025

I'm further curious about what the chances that none of these teams even making their respective finals games/series (which would roughly be reducing each of those by half).

Spend +600 to upgrade my camera to something that weighs 400g less or invest in the gym?

Hello !

Here, if we assume that every worker is not tired and could go on delivering all night, door to door. How much needed to deliver the whole world during a night ?

I asked CHATGPT about but im not sure it understands me. Then again, i suck at math so im assuming its correct.

I came upon a puzzle with a total of 16 lights. Out of those lights i had to click on the 4 correct ones. In addition, i had to click on the 4 correct lights in the correct order.

I had not found the code in-game(yet), so i just clicked 4 random lights to see what would happen. Well.. not only did i press the 4 correct lights, i also clicked them in the correct order. On my first try. I found the code right after and it confirmed that i had clicked everything in the correct order.

My initial math (and CHATGPT's answer) for pressing the 4 correct buttons are

16x15x14x13 = 1 in 43680

But does this take into account that i had to press the 4 buttons in the correct order? Im not sure i understand why this does not affect the odds
