Hey, are the odds of this happening 1/20?

My reasoning: 1/ (5 choose 2) * 2. That gets you the one possibility (LLWWW) over all outcomes. I'm a bit rusty, but I want to learn! So correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think it's just 1/2^5 now is it?...

Yes, the total number of possible outcomes is 2^5, so the odds of this exact pattern of results is 1 in 32, assuming of course they are both about the same skill level, which is reasonable.

Not to burst your bubble (well, actualy just to burst it), but people guess match results all the time. And only 20 possible outcomes is correct, which means 5% chance.

How is it amazing when someone occasionaly gets it right?

Is wrong, since as soon as 3 wins are accumulated, the rest of the series is not going to be played.

You're right, it's 1/20 lol.

(2^5) - (2^3) - (2^2) = 20
