While following the basketball games last night on CBS they announced at one point that there were only 16 people out of the millions who tried who still had perfect brackets. Mercer was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I figured there would have been more perfect brackets after the second round but I got that wrong too...maybe next year 🙂

That’s 1 in 9 quintillion and change. Buffet's money was never in danger.
Yeah, and I think that was the point he was trying to make.
