Even the most unlikely odds come up occasionally, else no one would play slot machines.
“Paul” got lucky, not likely to occur again for a LONG time.

There’s a one in 256 chance of correctly guessing the outcome of each match.
The aquarium just needs to get 256 octopi... then there would be a fair chance of one of them getting everything right... and another getting everything wrong.

In honor of the Women's World Cup, which begins June 26 in Sinsheim, Germany, the Sea Life aquarium chain is looking for the next incarnation of Paul, the octopus who amazed the world by correctly predicting the results of Germany’s matches in the 2010 World Cup The real challenge will be to find an octopus who cares enough to bother making a prediction.
To: shibumi
he attracted thousands of people to his aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, as well as death threats from soccer fans angry about his predictions...
See, this is where that line between being a sports fan and being a complete moron gets crossed...
