Does anyone know how likely it is that someone calls off the first 20 numbers in order from blue (1p) to red (£75,000)? Obviously leaving the 2 highest for the best possible offer.
Although if it ever happened how many people would think it was fixed. Could lead to some very funny moments with the Banker.

Approximately.

the chance of having 100k and 250k at the end is 1 in 231 one person did this but she dealt earlier

Aaron would be the best person to ask with his knowledge of statistics! wouldn't even take him 30 seconds to work out the right answer!

I assume, since it's such a large number, they thought I was making it up!

Sara had these two left, but dealt earlier at £31,000. It was the £100,000 in her box thankfully.

Yep, it's the real number.

22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 = 562,000,363,888,803,840,000
