So, I just got the idea to start such a Forum Game.

 

The rulles are easy, just as always:

 

Person A is supposed to post a statement and Person B is supposed to post how likely he/she think this going to ever happen. The statement can be about whatever you want like questions about yourself, something about politics or sport or whatever, just to name a few. 

 

You might start with How likely is it that...

or

What is the like likelihood that...

 

Answer in percentage terms and always give a reason (don't take the questions too serious and you might be answering humorously or ironically or whatever)

 

Forum Game Rules apply to this one as well. 

 

Example

 

Question:

How likely is it that there are more male than female users on this site?

 

Answer:

0-100% because ...

 

So let's get started

 

How likely is it that this Forum Game is going to work out?

10% likely because i do not know how much they put effort in it :P

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

    Depending on you age and according to your pfrofile, pretty unlikely, not more than 5%

     

    NOTE: In cases like how likely is it that the next person is a moderator there is no need to guess because the next person knows if he is or not. So you better refer this to the second poster so the next person still needs to guess! :)

    95%. The human race will most probably survive unless we start to nuke each other. The question is in what state we are in in 2020/2030...

    How likely is it that we can discover interstellar travel methods good enough for us humans to survive?

    Must I give a numerical answer? If not, I would say it is quite high.

    For as long as we still worship dead ideologies, like money and weapons, the possibility will be very low :(

     

    How likely is the creation of Spore 2? A chemistry set this time, not a color book!

    Around 5% due to the not-so-successful first edition.

    How likely is SimCity 4 going to last in 30 years given the advancements in computer technology?
