Can't believe it.
But I kind of see boulder's point.
​
If I someone enters a tossing competition (fnar, fnar) would the odds of any one person getting 10 heads or 10 tails out of 10 rounds of tossing (hur, hur) be astonomically low?
​
One person, getting 10 hits in ten rounds in one go?
​
Have I missed something?

Re: Can't believe it.
Does that make it clearer?
​
Totally.
​
I missed the bit about 1024 people.

D'oh!
