Following is an article about the math involved in the hard drive crashes at the Internal Revenue Service from a mathematical point of view. Of course, with the President swearing there is not a smidgen of corruption in the scandal, it has to be something else. Perhaps the math will reveal the problem. Now, to set this up you have to remember that the Hard drive of Lois Lerners computer crashed after the investigation committee requested to see her emails on and about the time she was targeting conservative groups and refusing to allow their application for tax exempt status to be processed. Then, when the Congressional Investigation committee requested information from six other Internal Revenue Service employees, strange coincidence, everyone of them had their computers crash at the exact same time as Lois Lerners hard drive crashed. So, someone has done a little math to shed some light on the subject of hard drive crashes. The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480. The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510. The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850. The odds of a hard disk failing in any given month are roughly one in 36. The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300. The odds of three drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656. The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails targeting conservative and pro Israeli groups) is 37 to the 7th power = 1 in 78,664,164,096. (thats over 78 Billion) In other words, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those seven IRS hard drives crashing in the same month. Boy, these guys are really unlucky. If the odds were any greater you might almost be tempted to think that the administration was lying to us!
