Revealing a royal flush on a first hand will probably only happen in a James Bond movie.
The odds of being dealt a royal flush – the highest-winning hand in poker – in your first round of cards is 1 in 649,740. There are 2,598,960 possible 5-card combos and just 4 of them will yield a winning royal flush.

Johannah,
Well, yes. That's why we use it. But it's more a point that movies make us believe that it's always successful I think.

#9 There are actually 63 games in the NCAA tourney, not including the play-in games. The 2.4 trillion number is also way off for 32 games. It’s closer to 4.3 billion.
In addition, each game isn’t like a coin flip, where there's a 50/50 chance of guessing it correctly.

#16 A person with a “photographic memory” just has a one-in-a-million great memory, better than almost everyone else alive.

#14 Not rare at all, just hard to spot. I had a photo album that was literally packed with four-leafed clovers when I was a kid. I had a lot of fives, sixes, and even a seven-leafed that I kept on it's own page. I found all of them in my and my neighbor's yards. No, we did not live near a nuclear power plant.

Yeah, I found a patch of four leaves ar my summer camp. I took a pic of the ground and counted later (non digital days). If you find one, more are nearby.

#12 Largely thanks to the movie "Jaws". Meanwhile even cows kill more people annually than sharks.

well if you live in the midwest, being left-handed isn't that rare.
The odds of being killed by a cow are very low except never zero.

Midge,
People killed by sharks per year on average: 5.
People killed by cows per year on average: 22.
And the point was obviously that we may have to be careful around them, but sharks are not an animal that immediately goes to kill every human they see.
And about 10% of the people worldwide are left handed. If you have a logical reason why that's different in the American Midwest, do tell.
