Book of Odds explores the odds of everyday life, from firearm owning to orgasm faking. We have to admit we're a little confused about a few odds, such as:
The odds a tourist in the US will visit Boston, Massachusetts are 1 in 132.4 (US, 2006).The odds a tourist in the US will visit Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts are 1 in 116.8 (US, 2007).
Not sure how the odds of visiting Faneuil specifically are better than visiting Boston at all: maybe we just got a lot more tourists in 2007. Regardless, the oddpeople toured Boston recently, finding out what people on our streets know about odds. How'd it go? See for yourself, above.
