A Picture is Worth...

There is a well-worn saying that goes, "You're one in a million." Somewhat easy to understand: You're unique; there' no one else like you; you're a treasure.

To a mathematician, the "uniqueness" of one-in-a million will be repeated 2,000 times if the pool is two billion.

So, in China, where there at least two billion people,
"one-on-a million" means there are 1,999 more people just like you.

Mathematicians love proofs. Pictured about is not an mirror image, but rather an area full of prospective flight attendants for Hainan Airlines, a China based airline.

A picture worth 2,000 names.
