Odds of a Snarkpit member placing, assuming ten Snarkpit entries, two hundred submissions and equal opportunity among all entries:

1 - (190/200)(189/199)(188/198) = 14.3%

you math whizzes

my 100/1 odds were not close enough for you :biggrin:

i left the margin for error, assuming two things.
1) its 200+
2) we are unsure of our members who sent one in. ( i am beginning to believe we sent in far less than 10)

a hundred to one is fair odds still
