Ya I figured it would be 82 x 82 x82...

83 x 83 x 83 since it is 1 in 83. The odds are 82 to 1, but you cube the probability, not the odds.

He correctly converted the odds to 1 in 83, but then he multiplied 83 by 3 to get 1 in 249, and then he correctly converted that to 248 to 1. The beginning and end were good, but the part in the middle was screwed up.
