3) Click join private group
The group ID is 67835 and the password is gopitt
If you somehow manage to crank out a perfect bracket, Yahoo will give you $5 million.
Interesting facts on filling out a perfect bracket:
— Because there are 64 games played in the tourney (including the play-in) and each game has two possible outcomes, there are 264 possible outcomes. That equals 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (18.4 quintillion!) brackets you’d need to fill out to guarantee you get one perfectly correct.
— If every one of the 6.5 billion people on Earth filled out a bracket, the odds of someone (anyone!) achieving perfection are still slim to none.
In any case, I’m goroma.
