    In course of human history? Maybe 80 or 85 billion or so, minus 53.

    I believe this info is incorrect, not only is a maillot jaune offered after each stage, the receiver
    gets several as souvenir (5, no?). So I'd guess there are quite a few canaries out there.

    From the years the TdF has been held, pick a year at random. (Write each year on a piece of paper,
    mix up all the pieces, pick one at random.) There's a 28% chance (25/90) that it will be a year when
    a 5-time winner has won the TdF.

    Which is why winning five Tours in not that rare for the event. In fact it's nearly the rule -- the
    Tour effectively produces specialists.

  10. Actually, it is estimated that the current populatio of the earth is roughly equal to the total
    amount of people ever to have lived, so more like 12 billion minus 53.

    No one who has seriously or even semi-seriously looked at the estimation thinks this is so. The
    estimates of the number of persons who have ever-lived range between about 80 and 100 billion
    (though admittedly, this depends on when you start counting).
