What&#x27;s stopping us from applying this math to other things? Like, every baby at the 1 minute mark of their life. Shouldn&#x27;t that mean that ~10% of all babies born dies within a minute and a half?<p>We can take this to extremes. At the 1 minute mark we have a 99% change of being in the latter 99% of their life (and thus a 99% chance of dying 99 minutes later). It&#x27;s amazing how many of them beat these odds.
