when is zero really zero?

   From: " " <steveinnv@webtv.net>
A famous scientist or mathmatician once said that if the probability of a

certain event was less than 1 / 10e50 than such event can be counted on to
never

occur. Maybe someone is more familiar with that quote.
I started to ponder about the number of non winning hands one would have

to play to reach that 10 e 50 mark.

If you're betting on a coin flip (exactly even odds), the chance of losing
167 times in a row is just slightly less than 1/10^50.
