Hmmm... I don't think that's such a generous estimate. I may be way off here, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that the average person of age 25 knows by name about 3000 people (ie: way less than 10000, so on what do you base your 10000 number from, since your point of reference would be considerably smaller). So that being said, I would think that the name zeke is probably more common than you might think.

Actually, I don't think your 10,000*10,000*10,000 is the correct way to work out the probability. Do a search for the probability of finding two people in a room with the same birthday for example, and you will find such things are much more probable than you would think.

Anyways people we are floating off topic here
Zekeo have you tried making your own picks i find it way more rewarding picking with homemades then commercially made ones but i like have the commercially made ones to get ideas for my homemades.

you guys are right about the probability, I was calculating "what are the chances that three people named zeke would post in a row on this site," but I never did so well in math anyway.

Geek, how come your spelling it with a G? its supposed to have a Z oh, and zekeo, about your master #3, usually if the #3 is a little difficult clockwise, I just go counter clockwise and it usually is much easier. Opens either way.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
