Subject: Could someone calculate these odds?

Could someone please calculate the odds that the 4 non-supercomputers would
score an even result with these 4 GMs? If the computers are just barely GM
strength (2500) and the humans are fairly strong GMs (2600), the humans should
score 64% on average. If the computers are rated 2450, the GMs should score 70%,
and the humans should score 75% against 2400 players.

But the computers had white in 3 games, and white scores 60% against black. If
the odds were calculated, I'll bet it would be something like the computers have
a 35% chance of scoring the result we saw.
