The odds aren't really that hard to calculate. If you have a 12 man team the chance of a particular player getting mvp x times in y games is (1/12^x)* (11/12^y-x) * y!/(y-x)! if I'm not mistaken.


Almost right. Add an x! to the denominator and it's there. That, and it needs different parentheses:

(1/12)^x * (11/12)^(y-x) / {y!/[x!*(y-x)!]}

And that's what I get for just working it out before coffee and not looking up the combinations formula! Thanks for the correction.

Unless it is a million to one chance. Then it is must always succeed due to narrative logic.

Or due to the use of an Infinite Improbability Drive... hmm, is there a way to make a Secret Weapon out of that?
