My "Transform Your Summer" Mt Dew Hoodie

July 6
me: this mountain dew hoodie currently has 2,728 entries
me: there are 300 winners
Josh: 1 in 9
me: is that a 1:9 chance?
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: haha
Josh: If someone would take the bet, I would bet $100 that you win a hoodie with those odds
Josh: haha

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
