What are the odds of you falling out of love with someone after a first kiss or the chances of you dying in January or March than in any other month?
All your important and random questions are answered in 'The Book of Odds: From Lightning Strikes to Love at First Sight, the Odds of Everyday Life', compiled by Amram Shapiro, Louise Firth Campbell and Rosalind Wright, the New York Post reported.
The book consists of odds for everything from sex to politics, like odds an adult will drink coffee in a day is 1 in 1.8, chances of a child aged 8-16 has ever watched porn online is 1 in 1.1 and odds of a woman aged 50-54 giving birth in a year is 1 in 20,250.
Other fascinating odds mentioned in the book are: 1 in 50 people will meet the requirements for Mensa, 1 in 2.6 adults have eaten cold pizza for breakfast and 1 in 2,211,000,000 people are pushed in front of a subway train in a year.
