Since the probability of choosing the correct outcome pertaining to this specific instance is so low; math laws actually reverse the chances, and in doing so the probability of guessing the right number is extremely high.

To be exact.
Out of 11 BILLION possible answers.
And if in 1 million we have a 1 in 1,000,000. Which in a decimal is 0.000001.
Converting this into a percentage, we have a 0.0001% chance of guessing the correct number.
And that's only a million.
However, converting this into a BIMDAS conversion, there would still be a 0.0001% chance we guess the correct number.
