Rare things on the planet

Intro statistically speaking as I'll be doing here you might have heard that a total solar eclipse is a rare thing sorry but that's a bit of a myth this phenomenon occurs approximately once every 18 months the next one will take place in April 2024 so you can check it out yourself okay and this one is pretty rare but not impossible the odds of being struck by lightning are one in three thousand there are also some positive statistics the odds that you survived the lightning strike are nine in ten shocking and what about having 12 fingers well it's higher eyes than a lightning strike the experts give different figures but it's about one in five hundred one in seven fifty to one in one thousand odds and just think of the piano possibilities Double Egg Yolk seeing a double egg yolk is just as unusual you can find such a yolk in one in one thousand eggs they're usually laid by younger hens and you know they're rookies still learning how to lay eggs right yeah just kidding by the way it's also possible to find a triple yolk in an egg but this time the odds are higher it's one in 25 million at least the British egg information service says sell a guy from Australia found such an egg and shared the photo he said the triple egg yolk tastes just like any other regular one the world record is nine yolks in one egg another record is that a woman from Britain found 29 double yolkers and all of them were from the same package finding a four-leaf clover is considered Fourleaf Clover to be a sign of good luck in Ireland but this is pretty rare and the odds are only about one in every ten thousand clovers but Gabriella Gerhard of Fitchburg Wisconsin managed to find 451 four-leaf clovers in one hour so I guess nothing is impossible if you try hard enough you'll probably even find a seven leaf clover but this time the odds are one in 250 million Puffy Chips can you imagine puffy chips an Australian kid found one and shared it on Tech talk the story evolved so much that the girl even created a listing for the puffy chip on eBay it all got pretty viral and the bids were insanely high like up to a hundred thousand dollars for the chip eventually the listing was taken down but the kids still managed to sell it the Doritos maker themselves offered a whopping twenty thousand dollars for this unique chip Toilet on the other hand your odds of being injured by a toilet are one in ten thousand nope I didn't make that up this figure is quite official the Center for Disease Control and prevention made a whole study on this issue and in most cases it's due to Accidental Falls or as we like to say a Wipeout winning the lottery sounds next to Impossible especially if it's a McDonald's Monopoly game a Canadian structural engineer Michael Ross counted your odds of winning 1 million dollars in the McDonald's Monopoly game it's a whopping one in 451 million 822 158 hold on sorry we can't mention Whopper when we're talking about McDonald's anyway I'm not sure anyone McDonalds can eat that many chicken McNuggets to get those tickets earning this money seems way easier in comparison with MCD the Powerball jackpot seems somewhat easier to win the odds are one in 292 million but still your chances are very slim to say the least don't buy that boat just yet Powerball over to you what do you think is more real becoming an astronaut or winning the lottery well it's becoming an astronaut it's almost 40 times more real to go into space than to win the McD Monopoly thing as the odds are 1 in 12 million one hundred thousand back in 2016 18 300 people apply to NASA and only 10 of them made it to the training class not to mention going to space now Millionaire if you're not satisfied with Lottery winning odds but finding a job is not an option for you I have a nice piece of information for you the odds of dating a millionaire are one in 215. now we're talking still the statistics don't disclose information on whether the millionaire you may date is generous or not hey don't take this one seriously go get a good job Good Job as for jobs how about becoming a writer the statistics say that the chances you may become successful aren't that bad for instance the odds that you write a best-selling novel are 1 in 220 almost like dating a millionaire but in this case you won't have to ask for money it'll be all yours Becoming an Actor you can also become an actor by the way it's easier to win an Oscar than to win a lottery the odds of winning This Magnificent golden statuette are one in 11 500 but to win the Oscar you got to become a movie star first right well prospects here are Slimmer you have a fat chance of one in one million one hundred ninety thousand so they really aren't in your favor but still all this seems more probable than winning a lottery by the way why is it that fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing Becoming a Millionaire now let's see what your prospects of becoming a millionaire are there are many ways to make money but apparently each of us has a six percent to 22 percent chance of becoming a millionaire even if it's six in one hundred it sounds like truly positive statistics not to mention 22 and 100. turns out that the odds of winning an Olympic gold medal are very unlikely According to some sources it's only one in six hundred sixty two thousand Bravo to all the athletes who made it Pearl or Oscar now what do you think is rarer finding a pearl in an oyster or winning the Oscar it's finding a pearl the probability is approximately one in twelve thousand are you into bowling it may seem like a piece of cake but the odds of playing a perfect 300 game are 1 in 460 and this statistic is for professionals things are harder for amateurs Chances Are One in 11 500. yep it's like bowling is as hard as getting an Oscar wait does Michelle yeoh go bowling of course she can do everything at once and that's multitasking Guessing Game now let's play a guessing game what are the odds of becoming a centenarian one in five thousand one in ten thousand or one in fifteen thousand the right answer is one in five thousand Marcel they say that the youngest now have a much higher chance of living to 100 years and even more SAT if you ever passed the SAT I hear you it's a lot of stress but next time your parents want you to study more to get a perfect score on the SAT you can share these statistics back in 2015 only 504 of over 1.5 million students got every point it's only one in thirty thousand give or take so don't sweat it Food poisoning what are your chances of getting poisoned quite good actually no matter whether you eat in high-end restaurants or drive-through takeaways food poisoning chances are approximately one in six yep one in six Americans experiences food poisoning in a year so dig in now I don't really want to compare Harvard University to the lottery but your chances of getting accepted into Hobbit are way higher than winning a jackpot back in 2021 the acceptance rate was 3.2 percent which is only about three students out of every 100 applicants but then you don't need to study hard to grab a lottery ticket Ambidextrous hey are you left-handed or right-handed there are way more right-handed people 85 to 90 percent while only 10 to 15 percent are left-handed but what about ambidextrous people these folks are rare only one in 100 people is ambidextrous now if you can use both hands and handle some easy tasks with your non-dominant hand it doesn't mean you're ambidextrous to be such a person you need to use both hands equally well hey when is your Birthday birthday it may seem that we all have a one in 365 odds of being born on any day of the year but there's one exception I'm talking about leap years and the 29th of February there are one in 1461 odds of being born on that day it's easy to calculate it's the number of days in four years plus one you may not have found any reason why you're unique
