Josh: yep
me: and i have 18 codes
Josh: 2:1 chance
Josh: 18:9
me: those are good odds
Josh: Mathmatically, you should win a hoodie
Josh: very
me: maybe even 2 hoodies

    me: i just put in 30 codes for optimus prime

    me: that should give me about a 40-50% chance of winning

    Josh: Nice

    Josh: Good luck

    me: psh

    me: this is skill

    Josh: hahahah

    me: or something

    Josh: Ask if anybody will give you 3:1 that you get an Optimus Prime.

    me: you know though

    me: if other people enter multiple codes like this

    me: i bet they just give 1 toy per person

    me: so if 100 people enter 30 codes

    me: i think my odds are pretty good here

    Josh: True
