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 :D

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. :oops:

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.
