[Answer] In a standard 64-team NCAA basketball tournament bracket, what are the odds of picking every game correctly?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In a standard 64-team NCAA basketball tournament bracket, what are the odds of picking every game correctly?"



...The odds of correctly predicting every single game in a 64-team NCAA basketball tournament bracket are astronomically low—1 in 9.2 quintillion (that’s 9,200,000,000,000,000,000). This assumes you’re picking each game completely at random, like flipping a coin. With 63 games in total, and two possible outcomes for each, the math works out to 26³ possible bracket combinations. Of course, using basketball knowledge can improve your chances slightly, but even the most informed analysts have never submitted a perfect bracket. That’s what makes March Madness so thrilling—and maddening!

[Answer] On the TV series "Gilligan's Island," how long was the Minnow's tour supposed to last?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "On the TV series "Gilligan's Island," how long was the Minnow's tour supposed to last?"



...On the TV series Gilligan's Island, the Minnow's tour was originally supposed to last just three hours. This is famously mentioned in the show's catchy and iconic theme song, which begins by inviting viewers to "sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip." Officially titled “The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle,” the theme song cleverly and memorably introduces the premise of the series, summarizing how a seemingly harmless “three-hour tour” turned into an unexpected shipwreck that left seven castaways stranded on a remote, deserted island.

[Answer] What is the name for a camel with only one hump?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the name for a camel with only one hump?"



...A camel with only one hump is called a dromedary. Dromedary camels are well adapted to hot, arid environments and are commonly found in the Middle East and North Africa. Their single hump stores fat, which can be converted into energy and water when resources are scarce. This distinguishes them from Bactrian camels, which have two humps and are typically found in the colder deserts of Central Asia. The dromedary is the more common of the two species and has been domesticated for thousands of years for transportation, milk, and meat.

[Answer] Where is the world's largest known stockpile of gold?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Where is the world's largest known stockpile of gold?"



...The world's largest known stockpile of gold is held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, located in Manhattan—not at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as many might assume. The bank's underground vault, situated about 80 feet below street level, contains approximately 497,000 gold bars, weighing around 6,190 metric tons, according to recent estimates. This massive reserve belongs not only to the U.S. government but also to foreign central banks, governments, and international organizations, which store their gold there for security and financial stability.
