Two engineers were on a quest to build the world's largest wheel of fortune. Once complete, the behemoth stood at four stories and had ten thousand slots marked by ascending number clockwise around the wheel.
For the the inaugural spin, the engineers wound a rope around the wheel's axle, and pulled it vigorously, accelerating the giant disc to a fantastic speed. The wheel spun and spun, the wooden needle clattering against the slot pegs with tens of thousands of terse clacks.
After several minutes and numerous rotations the wheel began to slow, and eventually stopped at 7419.
One engineer turned to the other and remarked, "Wow, what are the odds of that?"
