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
