Go figure

Chance that Dog Day Afternoon would be on our Netflix queue: 75% (A classic 70s film that neither of us have seen? Pretty likely it would end up in the queue.)

x

Chance that any particular movie in our queue would be in our posession: 2.5% (Figuring 4 movies at a time / ~ 160 movies in queue.)

x

Chance that on a given date, we are watching a rented movie: 14% (We watch about one per week.)

x

Chance that a given Netflix DVD in our possession is chosen: 20% (Four movies would make 25%, adjusted downward for possibility of using local rental or movie in our collection.)

Chance that we happen to watch Dog Day Afternoon exactly 30 years after the bank robbery it depicts took place in Brooklyn: 0.05%
