562　1 in 359 三百五十九分之一

During a field exercise, my squad was on a night patrol through some thick brush. Halfway through the exercise, we realized we had lost our map. The patrol navigator informed us, “Our odds are 1 in 359 that we'll get out of here.” “How do you come up with that?” I asked. “Well,” he replied, “one of the degrees on the compass has to be right.”

在实地演习期间，我的小队夜间巡逻穿越一个浓密的丛林。走到半途我们发现地图丢了。巡逻领航员告诉我们：“我们能从这里走出去的概率是三百五十九分之一。”我问：“你怎么得出这么一个数？”他回答说：“罗盘上三百六十度总有一度是正确的。”
