What are the odds of a perfect bracket?

So

what

are the

odds

of getting a

perfect

group? Many people try every year to write their own

bracket

for March Madness and it's really very unlikely that you'll ever get it

perfect

. Why is it so good that there are 63 different games today? tournament, then if there are 63 games, that means each game has two outcomes, of course, so two outcomes per game, so the number of possible groups is 2 to the power of 63, so if we do that in our calculator here, 2 to the power of 63, you get a ridiculously large number, it's so big that they have to use scientific notation to represent it, so

what

that roughly means is approximately nine with 18 zeros after it, okay, so imagine it's like 18 zeros and actually it's more than that because you have these 22 3. 3 72 Etc, it's even more than that, it's a huge number, it's really hard to even imagine how big it is, how big 2 to the power of 63 is, other than to say that is quite big, so let's think about this, suppose you can write a parenthesis every second. which even in itself is impossible, you can't write a parenthesis in a second, it takes a few minutes to do it, if you do you know it by thinking, so a parenthesis every second in itself is a bit crazy, but suppose you can and suppose you do. every second forever for your whole life for your whole life is fine and let's say you live for 100 years years and you just put parentheses it's fine so you don't do anything else besides writing these parentheses every second non stop no eat no drink no sleep no nothing every second new support, you just produce them one after another after another, if you do this it would take a ridiculous amount of this hundred years of life, even in 100 years of doing this non stop it wouldn't even be close to the number of supports. that you would need, so we're going to show this, so here's our total 2 63.

We're going to divide it by all the time that we're going to spend doing these

bracket

s, so we're going to spend 60 seconds in a minute multiplied by 60. minutes this is seconds in a minute and this is um minutes per hour and we're going to do that for 24 hours and we're going to do that for 365 days in a year, we're just going to use that not worry about leap years and we're going to do that every day for 100 years , so here are our years, here are our days and this is the number of hours in a day, okay, so that's all our time that we're going to spend doing.

I'm going to remove these parentheses for now, so there's our sorry number, so let's calculate how many seconds that is, so 60 seconds in a minute 60 minutes in an hour 24 hours in a day 365 days in a year multiplied by 100 years . a long time, but look how different these two numbers are, they are actually drastically different numbers. You can tell by the power of 10: 10 is 18 and 10 is 9. If you were to simply divide those that would be 10 by 9. which is a huge number, it's a one with a bunch of zeroes after it, nine zeros after it, so it's more or less that and then you have to think, well, we have nine and three, so let's divide everything, so let's make two.

I'm going to use new parentheses here, 2 to the power of 63, divided by everything we just got before, so I'm going to divide by and I'm going to do my previous answer because I can just copy and paste. that's it, there we have it, how many lives would you have to spend, so 2.9 and then, etc, etc, time 10, the ninth, which is about 2 N and eight zeros, and look, I got seven8, which is about 2 .9 billion in 100 years. lives, which is just unbelievable, okay, 100 years of your life just parenthesing every second, you would still need 2.9 billion of those lives, so it's essentially impossible, because that's just unfathomable, how big is it, will any Will you ever get a perfect life?

The answer in brackets is not good luck, but no.
