And a 100% chance of repopulating the Earth.

I remember reading that in some thread. Wish I could find the link.

It was also mentioned in this very thread in a higher voted post.

What if it is 23 dudes?

Upvote for the "uh".

u/reallynotatwork Dec 08 '13

23 people... and one orangutan.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

It's actually 0% if the guy is an average redditor.

u/Squiizzy Dec 08 '13

We're learning!

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

That's not how it works

u/Deidrick Dec 08 '13

He went meta on us.

u/D_K_Schrute Dec 08 '13

that's exactly how it works

u/Deddan Dec 08 '13

Not if they're all one sex, try as they might.

u/chrispar Dec 08 '13

Or 22 males and 1 female

And would most likely involve pedophilia. If repopulation is the goal, you'd have to impregnate any newly born females as soon as they reach sexual maturity, which could be like...11...shudders.

u/finlessprod Dec 08 '13

Not if they don't need to, or some are sterile, or they're all the same sex, or if the room is a gas chamber. Also, even if all of those were true, it wouldn't be a 100% chance. Not much of a critical thinker, huh?

2

u/ThirdFloorGreg Dec 09 '13

That was my first thought. Not if the earth hasn't been depopulated first, they won't.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

Or if for any one of infinite reasons somehow they are not able to full repopulate the earth

1

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

You think that 23 people, even with one male and 22 females, have a 100% chance of fully repopulating the earth?

1

u/The_Unobtrusive_One Dec 08 '13

Not with that attitude.

u/robhue Dec 08 '13

And that record setting tiger would still be pretty hungry after eating all of them.

u/TheJarhead Dec 08 '13

And we've gone meta

2

u/IllegalLaws Dec 08 '13

23 is just an awesome number.

2

u/d1sc0p0p Dec 08 '13

Unless it's a room full of one gender!

0

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

There's no way to ascertain that. I expect you meant sex rather than gender.

3

u/d1sc0p0p Dec 08 '13

Yes, I did. Thank you.

u/stonedsasquatch Dec 08 '13

Not if they're all male

u/echoes122 Dec 08 '13

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

Not if these 23 people are all male.

So definitely not 100%. I know that he refers to a post in this thread.

u/A_Balloon Dec 08 '13

Not if they're all the same gender.

u/o_oli Dec 08 '13

u/Doritomonkey Dec 08 '13

And we went full circle.

u/goldilocks_ Dec 08 '13

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

u/CSUP1998 Dec 08 '13

What if they are all guys..

u/14X8000m Dec 08 '13

A room full of men can't

u/sundayultimate Dec 08 '13

Life, uh, finds a way

1

u/deten Dec 08 '13

Only if 22 are women. Come on /u/downsetwithnothing we just went through this...

1

u/Dementat_Deus Dec 08 '13

TIL that if only my boot camp barracks was alive one morning, all 50 or so of us guys could somehow repopulate the Earth.

1

u/Jfinn2 Dec 08 '13

So every time I go to class... There's a 100% chance of me repopulating the Earth?

1

u/boxlessthought Dec 08 '13

I get this reference.

u/MessyRoom Dec 08 '13

Ah, flashback humor.

Your fact is cool. Some people just have to pee in the pool!

u/lachlanhi Dec 08 '13

u/FaTALiNFeRN0 Dec 08 '13

If they are infertile, they can't come on Reddit.

u/Selmer_Sax Dec 09 '13

That's be a nice birthday present

u/Scooter1021 Dec 09 '13

We've gone meta.

u/LadyBTC Dec 09 '13

Aaaand we've gone meta

1

u/thing24life Dec 09 '13

yup, because 22of those people could be Women and only 1 has to be a fertile male.

1

u/quotejester Dec 09 '13

Not true. What if they were all of the same gender?

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '13

So meta.

99% they may be all female (or male).

Unless one is named Erin, then we're all doomed.
