Request What are the chances that someone will someday fill out a perfect March Madness bracket?
Obviously the odds of a given individual filling out a perfect bracket for the NCAA basketball championship tournament are unbelievably low. But, what are the odds that someone out there will fill out a perfect bracket in a given year? Also, what are the odds that someone out there will fill one out if, say, the tournament continues for another 100 years? Bonus points for how many years, on average, before someone out there fills out a perfect bracket. I think these would really just be simple binomial and/or geometric distributions, but it's been years since I took a stats class, so I'll need some help.

Request The Improbability Drive
In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the "Heart of Gold" travels anywhere the pilot wants to go, nearly instantaneously, using the "Improbability Drive." This works by taking the desired location and calculating the probability of the ship arriving there.
According to the Guide, the scientists who discovered it, did so by calculating the probability of such a device and when they completed, poof! it appeared before them. In essence, r/theydidthemath and there it was.
So.... my question for you is what is the probability of creating a spaceship engine that can travel through space and time by calculating the probability of it happening and then making it happen?

request fuel savings from weight loss
My family goes on a lot of road trips. It’s far cheaper to drive than to buy 7 plane tickets and rent an SUV at the location. Husband and I could would like to lose a combined 100 lbs.
Our fully loaded SUV currently weighs 6500 lbs. Our highway mpg is 16.3 when averaged over 3000 miles. We drive about 17,000 miles per year, averaged over the last 5 years. How much fuel would we save if we actually lost the 100lbs?
