I'm not sure. But it always drives me crazy when people say you have a 1 in 9+ quintillion chance of getting your bracket perfect. Unique combinations and statistical odds are not the same thing. When people quote the 9 quintillion number, they're saying without realizing it that the odds of 4 16 seeds making the final 4 is the same as the odds of 4 1 seeds making it.
