    But he picked Purdue to win it, so it's a pretty good chance he won't finish perfect.

    WTF does "autistic" have to do with it? :rolleyes:

    Why not tell us what his income is and what race he really is while we're at it? :grin:

    Seriously speaking, though, why mention he is "autistic"?

    LOL!

    You'd HAVE to be autistic to have a perfect bracket so far

    Because it might just come down to someone that's autistic to have a perfect bracket as the above poster said :cool:

    Because it makes for an interesting story.

    64! isn't it?

    Odds? Odds of what? Winning the whole thing, or getting the perfect bracket?

    Mind you, as soon as one game is off, it is not perfect, so you have to tell me what odds you're thinking about. If you're just betting REGIONAL or FINAL FOUR, it's different than FIRST ROUND winners. :eek:

    I heard something like his brother or a family friend goes to school or is on the Purdue team.

    Didn't Bill Simmons say Purdue has the Ewing effect going on? Since one of their star players got injured. I wouldn't be surprised if they get into the Elite 8 though, since Duke is known to choke in the late rounds, and it's pretty much a 50/50 against Baylor...

    This teen should become an ESPN analyst, just to highlight how anyone can do their jobs, and better probably.

    Was the question really that difficult? I'm pretty sure everyone else knew what he was asking.

    Which possible event has greater odds...

    - This kid ends up with a perfect bracket

    or

    - SwoLy-D posts something containing actual substance, that doesn't contain the term "that's what she said", and doesn't have an emoticon?



    I'm going with the perfect bracket as being more likely.

    Speaking of which...here's an article trying to determine what the odds are. it depends on how you determine the winner of each game. According to this article, if you say each team has a 50/50 chance, then the odds are 1 in 9 million trillion.
