Imagine How Good He Was When He Wasn’t Dying This is perhaps the personal anecdote one most often hears in informal mathematical circles. I have got to admit that it never struck me as being as spellbinding or hilarious as it does others, but here it is for the sake of completeness. When the great mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan was on his deathbed, he was visited by G. H. Hardy.

66+), or, more accurately, a bit above 63 percent. 43 Mathematical Elegance (In other words, the probability of rolling at least one four in six rolls of the die (a one-in-six chance) or having the spinner land on “8” in ten spins (a one-in-ten chance) is a bit below two-thirds. But even if the wheel has a million numbers and you win only if the spinner lands on number 562,194, if you spin the spinner a million times, there is about a 63% chance that you will land on 562,194 at least once. If there are only two or three possibilities, then the likelihood is somewhat higher.
