| Goofs | Diana states that there are "A nearly infinite number of permutations of injury and/or death for 12 people." In fact, this equation boils down to one of 3 outcomes for each survivor, and thus can be calculated as 3 to the power of 12, or 3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3. This gives a total of 531,441 possible permutations. A large number for sure, but nowhere near infinite. Considering Diana is an actual scientist, it seems incredulous she would equate such a comprehendible number as 'nearly infinite'. See more » |
