You have a 0 percent chance of getting away with murder.

anonymous · Answer

Because, you know, you will get caught eventually. If you live in America. I guess.

anonymous · Answer

Probability 0: I'll flip this coin, and before it hits the ground, it'll collapse in on itself and open a wormhole to another dimension.

anonymous · Answer

Although thats approximated. Quantum mechanically it could happen.

anonymous · Answer

Probability 1: I'll flip this coin and it'll land on heads, tails, or neither.

anonymous · Answer

Probability 1/2: I flip this coin and it'll land on heads.

blurbendy · Answer

Probability of 0 is interesting.  Nothing is guaranteed to not happen.  The quantum world is loopy like that.  

I think the closest you can get is that the probability is 0 that no object with mass can travel faster than the speed of light.  time will only tell if that holds true, however.
