What are the odds?

Good grief

According to my research the odds of one is 1:1,000 so the odds of getting two are (0.001 x 0.001) = 0.000001 = 1:1,000,000

So you were right, but for the odds of two.

The story I found this out on was something Snadger posted a while ago about the person who found a box of 6 double yolkers. The odds of which were 1:1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (or 1 in a quintillion)!

But on Jackie's market stall the odds are 100% or 1:1
I think??

I think that if you buy your eggs from someone who had just re-stocked Point of Lay birds then the producer will be able to sort them out to ensure you get several in a box and s/he can charge more. This isn't chance, is it? So you can't apply the laws of chance to it.

..and don't they candle the one's they're not so sure about???..hence the extra price???

One of my customers says the eggs I sell him are regularly double-yolkers. I had a little tiny egg this week, a sort of practice one as they are (hopefully) coming back into lay. I cracked it to add to my Omelette this morning and it had no yolk at all!

I get mine from the guy across the road who has 300+ chickens and they regulary have double yolkers, every other box i buy i'd say.

Next time a I go into the market I will look at what the sign says as I am sure its only double yokers in one section, normal eggs next to them and check the price of both.
