Ferry Trip - Day 3 and Arrival

Our last day had a bit less rain. I wouldn't go as far as to call it sunshine. However, we didn't really do much outside. I did see the tail of a whale disappearing, much to T's annoyance - as I'd only been looking for about 5 mins - her 1/2 hour in the rain was fruitless.

In the evening, we had "Bingo". It was a bit of fun. Apparently they sold 35 cards.

The first prize was given for getting one line.

T won

The second prize was given for getting two lines

T won

The third prize was given for getting three lines

T won and was banned from winning any more prizes.

The fourth prize was given for getting four lines

T didn't win (she was banned, remember), but was two numbers ahead of the winner (i.e. T would have won)

The fifth, and major, prize was for a full house.

T got a Bingo on the same number as the winner.

Then they started a new game for the losers (i.e. anyone who hadn't won a prize yet.) Everyone stood up and then sat down if their board had any of the called numbers on it.

After 4 (or 5) numbers, there was only one chap left. T, with the same board, had had no matches either. Basically, one board would have won (as far as we can establish) every prize had we not been banned.

What's the probability of that then? (yep, 1) O.K. but what's the liklihood? 75 numbers. Board as shown below.



Board yet?


Another night's sleep saw us arriving in Puerto Montt where we were disembarked by the cargo elevator and not the perfectly good stairs next to it, for some reason.



Moo


We got a transfer to Puerto Varas (15 km North and much, much prettier).
