I remember this episode from when I was 11 years old. I remembered Gary Moore scrolling out the banner containing the odds. I couldn't remember what the odds were though. I thought it was in the quadrillions. Way off. I decided to do a search for this episode and couldn't believe I found it. Very interesting segment. A couple of things about the bridge hands. There are 7.5 septillion grains of sand on the earth. It is easier to find one specific grain of sand than it is for this bridge hand to occur. Secondly, if you shuffle a brand new deck of cards perfectly, cutting it exactly in half, and then interweaving each card with only one other card, and you do this twice, after you cut the cards you will have dealt a perfect bridge hand. I'm not saying that's what happened or that these people made the whole thing up. It's just an interesting takeaway for a very unlikely event.
I saw this episode when it was first broadcast; I was eight. A few years back I visited an inn with a small private zoo, and got to hold a "tame" ocelot on my lap. It's an immensely powerful cat and would not be happy as a house pet, nor would it be compatible with human furnishings. Even in a very large screened pen at the zoo, I thought it needed more room to prowl.
The odds against four perfect bridge hands being dealt in one game are so great that it is more believable that the four players were lying. What evidence do they have that this event ever truly occurred?
Weightlifter Paul Anderson lifted 6,270 Lbs. that's equivalent to lifting not 1 but, 2 Volkswagon Beetles, The Volkswagen Beetle weighs in at 3,045 pounds, Lol!

Many thanks for the upload!! More full episodes please! Most people post clips and segments which I find annoying. Thanks again!
Don't belive that bridge hand. Probably lying or someone arranged the deck. Plus, with virtual impssible odds & Bess says it's already happened before. No way.

Pity you.....telling us all about yourself.
If not lying, someone arranged the deck.

THAT was a BACKLIFT which is not a common lift and your garden variety.
Wow! That’s amazing.
I'd of had to disqualify myself from the 2nd secret as I've seen that number before
Bess is definitely Cleopatra.
The odds of dealing only three perfect bridge hands are impossible. Do you know why?
If you have three perfect hands, what is left over for the fourth hand is also perfect, so you really have four perfect hands, not "only three."
@@neilmidkiff You are correct!
That ocelot was such a beautiful animal. And they're pretty when they get older, too (though not good pets).
