Statistics - a stubborn thing. And this means, no matter how amazing the statistical data might seem to us, it's as pointless to challenge them as trying to extinguish a volcanic eruption with a fire hose. I collected a few statistics that seem strange to you, and maybe even funny. Nevertheless, this is true.
- The probability of being killed by a dog is about 1 to 700 000. We all love dogs, but it is obvious that at 700 000 cases of ordinary dog aggression at least once the animal allows itself not just barking.
- In chess there are 169 518 829 100 544 000 000 000 000 000 ways to play the first ten moves. In general, we here in the editorial office tried to voice this number verbally, and somewhere in the middle of the process they spat on this matter and went to play chess. Now you also know that after the first move of the pawn, you have about this number of variants of the development of events, even before you touch the boat.
- In order to tear off the human ear, an average pressure of 3.2 kg is required. It's pretty cruel, but it's not us - it's all gravity.
- 50% of all lost remotes from the TV are found between the cushions of the sofa, 4% - in the refrigerator or freezer, and 2% - in general outside the house.
- Every year 13 people die from the fall of a vending machine. Apparently, when you hit the gun for not giving you a can of soda, he can give change.
- On average, an actively speaking person sprays about 300 microscopic drops of saliva per minute, which is about 2.5 drops per word.
- Statistics published in 2011 report that 8% of Internet users never use search engines. Whether they enter URLs manually or are limited to only social networks, it is not known exactly. But you can say one thing: either these people always clearly know what they want, or they do not want anything at all.
- Termites eat vegetation 2 times faster when listening to rock music. We can not imagine how this was tested, but the musical preferences of termites are approved in every possible way. By the way, we have the same thing on "Invasion", but only with people.
- The probability of being killed from falling off the bed is 1 to 2 million. Another weighty argument is to abandon the top shelf in the train car.
- About half a million fragments of space debris fly about the Earth's orbit. The width of each of them is not less than 1.27 cm. Some of them get into the atmosphere, and if they do not burn at the entrance, they fall to Earth and with probability 1 to 5 billion can kill you.
- The probability of being killed by poisoning is 1 to 86 000. It is not clear only what is meant here: deliberate poisoning or poisoning by spoiled products. In any case, think before you take coffee from a person who owes you money.
- If you move at a speed of 121 km per hour, then around Saturn one of its rings will be possible in 258 days.
- On average, a person for life flexes the joints of the fingers approximately 24 million times. Probably, if you combine the crunch after each of them into one, then this sound will be identical to the howitzer howl.
- The chances of dying in the bathroom are 1 to 1 million. It is possible that most of these cases occur in Hitchcock's films.
- Every person in the world has 1 million ants. If they wanted to, these guys could take over the world. Or maybe the ants already think that the planet belongs to them.
