        @neiltyson I've heard recommendations that statistics be taught as the top level of HS math instead of calculus. Agree?

        @neiltyson @ehxor It depends. I know try millions times will show that each number has even chance. But what if life only gives you 2 tries.

        @neiltyson The only truly lucky number is the one you got from the guy who fixed the contest. Of course, that's not really just luck either.
