Bioflash: "Probability"

Thao’s teacher rolled the dice.

“Six!” Mr. Abaddon announced. “What’s the probability I’ll roll two more?”

Thao raised his hand. “One hundred percent!”

No one got the joke. Thao had always suspected his math teacher was the devil, hiding his horns behind that tweed hat.

Mr. Abaddon rolled twice more. Both sixes. “You’re right, Thao. I’ll see you after class.”

When everyone else had left, Thao walked up to the teacher’s desk. Mr. Abaddon looked at him curiously.

“How did you know?”

Thao shrugged

“Just a lucky guess? I want to show you something.”

Mr. Abaddon took off his hat.
