Yet this figure assumes choosing 63 games at random.

How many years would it take to reach 9.2 quintillion seconds? Try 292 billion. Or consider this: There are 31.5 million seconds in one year. 'To put the number 9.2 quintillion into perspective, if every person on the planet (about 7.5 billion) began filling out one bracket per minute, it would take over 2,300 years to fill out 9.2 quintillion brackets,' the late DePaul University mathematics professor Jeffrey Bergen said. Your odds of getting every game correct are roughly 1 in 9.2 quintillion.

Let's skip the 'First Four' play-in games and examine only a 64-team bracket. What, exactly, are the odds of achieving a perfect bracket? Long. It's never been done, and, to be perfectly honest, likely won't happen during this year's tournament either. Perfect.īut you cannot - absolutely cannot - predict a perfect March Madness bracket. You can believe practice makes perfect and even become Mr. You can write in the present perfect, past perfect, future perfect, or pluperfect tense while using WordPerfect (is that still a thing?). You can have perfect pitch, nail a perfect landing, or achieve a perfect score.

Even computers can't achieve perfection given the unpredictability of the games.

Investor Warren Buffett once offered $1 billion to anyone submitting a perfect bracket.

The odds of correctly guessing every game in a 64-team tournament are staggeringly long.

Nobody has officially achieved a perfect bracket in the March Madness basketball tournament.
