It is very nice, but the probability of event is depends on the possible outcomes... And there are only two of them - it will hit someone or will not... That makes it a 50-50... Which is horrible...

It's only "50-50" in the same sense that a coin can land on a flat side or the curved edge when flipped.
(some day I need to do a giant facepalm)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If we're being picky about numbers here, why does the original question involve multiple ladies but only one gentleman?

If you have a bag with 999 blue balls and 1 red ball and you reach in to pick one randomly, there are only two outcomes but the odds are definitely not 50 - 50 of getting a blue or red ball.

It's not "interactive" if I don't get to control where to send it...

Well, there is 70% chance that it is not in the pacific ocean, so I beg to differ

Yes, but ... "not the Pacific" isn't a specific place at all!

Well, I don't see in the rules how specific it should be, so I do bet in not pacific hahaha.
Actually I think I will bet planet Earth

Didn't saw that before, but that is exactly what concerns me... It is a big f* risk, but seems China does not care...

Wrong question for my current mood.
Now if you ask me where* I'd like it to fall . . .
* read that "on whom"

There is a 100% chance it will land wherever it does, and a 0% chance anywhere else.

I'm hoping on their launch facilities so they think twice about being idiots again. This isn't the first time China has pulled this crap.

I'm hoping it lands on my neighbor's house.
No, don't ask.

Using the last year and a half as an indicator, I'm going with it will land in the least desirable place.

I am betting on the East Coast of the US. Nothing like an international incident to spice up the weekend!

I'm gonna go with about 100km south-southeast of Madagascar, in the water. I have a smudge on my monitor at that exact location when viewing the satellite tracker and I can't seem to wipe it off, so it must be a sign. Of course if I scroll the web page up or down my prediction would change... but I haven't scroll yet so I'm sticking with my first prediction instead of, say, the Saudi Arabian desert.
