    Unless Juanma was talking about a literal global probability of 1 in a million instead of a figure of speech.
    :geek:
    He could just be trolling us all, 0.0001% for a global population is ~7.4 billion = ~7,400 people could have been viewing this Caribbean yellow sunset, and he was just one of them. If only people in the Caribbean could see this sunset, and the entirety of the Caribbean(~39 million) had an equal chance to view this sunset, Juanma had a 0.018974359% chance to see this sunset on any given day, assuming Juanma knows that the chance to see such a sunset was 1 in a million.
    If Juanma lives to be around 72 years old or 26280 days (life expectancy of the average Bahamian), then Juanma would have seen around 5 such sunsets (~4.9864615452) in his lifetime. Thus, we can conclude that Juanma must be around 14 years old, this being his first yellow sunset which only occurs globally 1 in a million chances.

    I hate when people say the word 'stupid' but like it has a 't' at the end. "Don't be so stupit". Yeargh. For some reason quite common where I am.

    Of course, it would be one in a million if it was a Dutch person saying it like that I guess.

    ;)


    Hey, wait, what? I am Dutch..

  • A 1-in-infinity occurence happened to you when you were born. You should cherish that moment and the rest of history for the rest of your life :lol:

  • TLDR. (jk.)
    Imagine how stupid the average person is. Then realize that half of the people are even stupider than that.

  • My sky turned Pink. I'm not even kidding, the clouds above the ground turned pink. Why exactly? I'm not completely sure myself yet, but since it was late sunset, I suppose maybe the last ray of light hit the clouds as it was raining furiously. The clouds may have refracted the light such that my house (and maybe around a 2-3km radius around it) had pink fog. I know, maybe this is common in countries with a lot of fog, but it so happens that in the USA, you don't get a lot of fog at 7:15 PM. Or at any time.

    You said you lived in the us? What part? (It's fine if you don't want to tell) I live near San Francisco and the place is practically know for its fog. The sky turning orange/pink is a regular sighting where I live. I can snap a picture next time it happens if you want me to.
