At my present age, my risk of dying on any given day is in the range of 1 in 80. How old are you? A 1 in 80 chance of dying today means that you have a 79 in 80 chance of making it to tomorrow, which is a (79/80)^365 = 1% chance of making it through a year. I'll bet even 100 year olds have a better survival rate than that ... Ian
