I think lifetimes would be something everyone could relate to. Has this been done? Any ideas?

I'm reponding to myself. As an example, for a coin flip to come up heads 100 times in a row, we would get 1:1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376. If we defined a roulette lifetime as 60 years of play, 12 hours a day at 100 trials per hour, a roulette lifetime would equal 26,280,000 trials. The 100 in a row sequence could then be reduced to 48,236,324,209,597,770,224,379 lifetimes. I think we would need a bigger number.
