Im sure the least likely event Ive ever seen occurred when I was a teenager maybe 32 years ago. We were using a razor blade to help deal with paint on a window. Someone dropped the razor blade and it bounced across the hard floor. The razor blade bounced and rolled coming gently to rest standing on edge in the middle of a smooth hard floor. The kenetic and rotational energy had to be absolutely the right amount to an infinite number of decimal places or very close to it. Basically statistically impossible. Makes winning the powerball jackpot seem like a likely event in comparison but it happened in front of 6 people.
Every person who doubted how long the odds of this event were challenged to do it by hand(balancing it on the edge and letting it go leaving it standing on edge). The most stubborn individual tried for more than 6 hours without succeeding. Nobody ever succeeded that Im aware of and that was placing it in position not the random bounce we witnessed.
An absolute law of probability any event whose probability is greater than zero can and will happen. So never fall for the fallacy it will never happen. Maybe this would have been better included in the those crazy negative progression posts.

Unless you were standing on a lens in the Hubble, the floor isn't perfect.
