Wrong. If the chance is 1 in a million each time you fly the chance is
1:1,000,000 on the first flight and 1:1,000,000 on the millionith flight. The dice don't have a memory. You are simply taking the 1:1,000,000 chance more often than your passengers. I agree with what you're saying - but if I take that risk 'n' times more than you then I'm 'n' times more likely to have my number come up. If I had a gun with a million hole chamber and only 1 round I wouldn't be too nervous about spinning the chamber once - I'd be real nervous about doing it a million times. The chances of blowing my brains out on any one occasion is always 1 in a million as you say - but do it enough times and the chance of that one chance coming up is increased proportionately - which proportionately affects my chances of continuing on in this life in good health! ![]() |
