  • Any human is three times more likely to find $100 on the street (1 in 333,062,500) than they are to meet their doppelgänger (1 in 1,000,000,000,000)
  • There are equal chances of getting struck by lightning once and becoming a millionaire (1 in 500,000)
  • Americans have a 1 in 209,000,000 chance of becoming the President of the United States; in fact, humans are more likely to win the lottery (1 in 45,057,474)

The team at www.cardschat. com have conducted extensive research into the odds of various things happening in people’s everyday lives, from being hit by a bus and being struck by lightning, not just once but twice, to becoming the President of the United States and even meeting their doppelgänger.

Although many have a fear of shark infested waters and being attacked by a shark while they’re on vacation, the chances of this are less likely than having a toilet related accident, with the odds of an accident on the toilet being 1 in 10,000 while the odds of dying in a shark attack stand at 1 in 3,748,067.

Some of the least likely odds to happen in a lifetime were found to be:

  • Meeting your doppelgänger – 1 in 1,000,000,000,000
  • Finding $100 on the street – 1 in 333,062,500
  • Becoming the President of the United States – 1 in 209,000,000
  • Winning the lottery – 1 in 45,057,474
  • Dying in a tornado – 1 in 13,000,000

  • Getting hit by a bus – 1 in 2,700,000
  • Being dealt a Royal Flush in poker – 1 in 2,598,960

Many pin their hopes on meeting their doppelganger at some point in their life, however they’re more likely to be killed by a stray firework (1 in 340,733) or become a movie star (1 in 110,500).

Some of the more surprising odds that have a good chance of occurring include:

  • Dying on your birthday – 1 in 365
  • Being born with extra fingers and toes – 1 in 500
  • Becoming an astronaut – 1 in 1,525

When it comes to naming children, Emma is a very common girls name, in fact it’s proven that there’s a 1 in 107 chance of being called Emma, whereas boys have a 1 in 179 chance of being called Jacob.

Debi O’Neill, spokesperson for www.cardschat. com, commented:

“There are some definite surprises that have come about from our research; we’re shocked to find out you actually have a better chance of becoming an astronaut than becoming a movie star or even winning an Oscar. Who knew? It’s a shame that the odds are so low on coming across your doppelgänger in your lifetime, but when you consider there are 195 countries in the world and roughly 7.674 billion people on the planet, maybe we should just be happy to find ‘the one’ at some point in our lives over meeting someone who looks just like us.”

Brazil federal court suspends Spribe’s Aviator trademark rights pending final ruling

18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District blocks enforcement of Brazilian registration No. 501759803 after action by Aviator Studio Brazil.

A Federal Court in Brazil has ordered the suspension of Spribe’s trademark registration for “Aviator,” preventing the company from relying on exclusivity rights tied to Brazilian trademark registration No. 501759803 until a final judgment is issued.

The decision was issued by the 18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, following legal action brought by Aviator Studio Brazil. Aviator Studio said the court recognized the strength of its claims on the grounds of invalidation of Spribe’s trademarks.

According to Aviator Studio, the case centers on evidence that the Aviator trademark was created and used years before Spribe obtained trademark protection in Brazil. The company said the court acknowledged evidence that the Aviator brand originated in Georgia in 2016 and was formally registered there in 2018.

The court also took note of prior judicial decisions in Georgia that, according to Aviator Studio, invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.

“This decision represents an important step in protecting the Aviator brand and enforcing intellectual property rights internationally. In practical terms, this means that, until the final resolution of the Spribe’s trademark invalidation proceedings, Spribe will no longer be able to continue it’s disruptive practices against operators, including sending threatening letters or initiating legal actions related to the use of Aviator Studio’s trademark.” comments George Pruidze, CEO of Aviator Studio. “We remain committed to defending the integrity of the Aviator brand and ensuring that its legitimate ownership is recognized across all jurisdictions.”
