With 63 games in the tournament, there are 9.22337204 × 10 ^ 18 unique brackets. This number is 9.22 quintillion.
To count this high, you would need to count a number each second for 2.92471209 × 10 ^ 11 years (.3 trillion years). With just 2.7 million entries, the odds of someone hitting a perfect bracket is 1 in 3.41606372 × 10 ^ 12, or 1 in 3.4 trillion. How many games should be assumed to go according to Hoyle such that 1 of the 2.7 million is guaranteed to pick a perfect bracket? (Or, 2 ^ # games = 2.7 million.) That number is 21: 2 ^ 21 (2 097 152). IOW, there must be 42 games according to Hoyle so that it really is only a pick of the toughest 21 games.

Not a great first round for me. Fortunately, 13 of my Sweet 16 are still alive and 7 of my Elite 8. So I can make a charge. . .
I was riding Iowa. Not good times.
