If there is a connection between IQ and the maths of probabilities then the author of the quote above has a real problem to face with his IQ. As a matter of fact there is no such percentage as 0.75%. You can either say 75% or "0.75" or ".75"! So, it's a long way to become a second Einstein... ;) You can also see your fault if you write 100%; in your very private version this would be 1.00% which isn't 100% but only 1%. Now I see why you were convinced that JUNIOR was a super GM after the showmatch against Kasparov... You worked with factor 100! :)
