What's rare than finding a four-leaf clover? Rare than being struck by lightning? Or even

rare than winning the lottery? There's such exceptional occurrences that the chances of them

happening to you seem slim. But there are even more impossibly rare events in this world

that make those things look common. From finding the rarest element on Earth to spotting

the rarest Minecraft mob, it's time to take a look at some of the least possible things to happen

in the known universe. Alright, let's start small to establish a scale.

Your odds of drawing a heart or any specific suit from a deck of 52 playing cards is 1 in 4.

Each suit has 13 cards, giving you a 25% chance of blindly drawing a specific suit.

Moving on, your odds of being left-handed are around 1 in 100.

The preference for using the left hand over the right comes from the way the brain is arranged.

The left half controls the right side of the body, and vice versa.

Most people's brains use the left hemisphere to determine fine motor control, so the right side of the body, and vice versa. Most people's brains use the left

hemisphere to determine fine motor control, so the right hand becomes dominant. Left-handedness

could be down to a small genetic mutation in our distant past, which is genetically passed down

to an increasingly small amount of lefties today. Next, twins. Identical twins occur when one fertilized

eggs splits into two fetuses that end up sharing the same genetic information. That means

your odds of being born a twin are around 1 and 250. Inexplicably, the country of Benin

boasts a twin birth rate of around 28 per 1000, seven times higher than the average.

Pokemon! We've caught them all, but did you know that in the games each Pokemon has a very, very low chance of being shiny?

These different colored Pokemon are generated randomly by the game, but each wild encounter only produces a 1 in 4,096 chance of a Pokemon being shiny.

In the older games, your odds were even worse at 1 in 8,912.

It's a miracle anybody really did catch them all.
