More fantastic science facts from those zany folks at the New Yorker:

"The letters 'H', 'L', 'I', and 'C' were sequentially projected in white against a black background in groups of ten. He scanned each group and was asked to identify the letters in order. The likelihood that he could do this by guessing was one in forty. Nine out of ten time, he scanned the sequence correctly."

Look, it's an easy mistake to make... 4 to the 10, 4 times 10... that's almost the same, isn't it?
