Here’s how I used ChatGPT and a little bit of JavaScript to figure out I could win this video contest... and then proceed to win it. //

All told, there were 538 entries competing for prizes in the contest. n/(538+n)n/(538+n)n/(538+n) doesn’t sound like great odds, does it?

Let’s dig deeper to see why winning isn’t as improbable as it sounds on the surface. To do this, we’ll review the existing submissions. //

Now we can get to figuring out the probabilities and odds. For this, we’ll use a function to calculate the binomial coefficient.
