I only did one bracket in about five minutes and I was 10/12 today. Very happy and leading my work pool.

2^63 = 9.2 quintillion (that's why the OP went with that title)

Your guess sucks. I'd work on my reading comprehension before trying to master sarcasm.

this is a little misleading, because the chances of picking correctly between a 1v16 seed are a little higher than picking the correct winner of a 8v9.

I'm assuming they are using a 50/50 type odds for each game.

This is tigerdroppings.com

In a month we will have reports of at least 5 people claiming they had a perfect bracket.
