More or Less · WS MoreOrLess: Golden Ticket · 12 Jul 2014 podcast

Excellent.

So 5 billion divided by 12, it's about 400 million.

So how many golden tickets are there altogether?

And there's 400 million chocolate bars altogether.

Five out of 400 million is the same as, gosh, that's quite difficult.

80 80 fantastic so there's about a one in 80 million chance of getting a golden ticket charlie didn't just buy one chocolate bar he got four so his chance of getting a golden ticket was actually about one out of

20 million.

Does anyone know just how unlikely one out of 20 million is?

Here's one way of thinking of it.

Just imagine you were forming a queue outside the school, maybe two of you for every metre.

So that means you would go for 10,000 kilometres.

Where's 10,000 kilometres from here?

Here to France.

It's going to be even further than from here to France.

Can anyone name me a city in South Africa?

So imagine a line of children from outside the classroom here going all the way to Johannesburg and only one of those children gets a golden ticket.

That would be pretty unlikely, wouldn't it?

Are you surprised?

So, Isabel, what do you think of that answer?

Are you happy you've got the answer to that now?
