RE: [GZG] laser classes

Nope you're right.  My calculator was acting funny. 6 to the 8th is
1,679,616.  

The math thing just isn't working for me today... ;)

Understood, Birhan, but I'm obviously screwing up something with my
calculator, cuz I only get 1,679,616, not over twelve million for six to
the eighth. Damn thing is, keeps coming out the same.

But, if winning the powerball is "(odds of 1 in 150 million)", isn't
one
in thirty-nine millions more like four times the odds, not one fourth?
Really, I'm not good with figures, but I get 'em right once in a while.
;->=

Please note, my previous figuring included the assumption that fives
give
you two hits but no rerolls. I REALLY need to play more often!
