⛳ Hole-in-one (amateur) vs 🤢 Getting food poisoning
Share card
You're 2,083.3× more likely to get food poisoning
than to hit a hole-in-one
Periods differ: Getting food poisoning is framed as per year (US), while Hole-in-one (amateur) is per round (amateur). The multiplier is a raw ratio of the 1-in-X figures — not a normalized lifetime risk. Compare cautiously.
How we calculated this
Each figure is “1 in X.” The larger X is the rarer event. Dividing that number by the more common one gives the multiplier: you're 2,083.3× more likely to get food poisoning. When the periods differ, this is a raw ratio of those figures, not a lifetime-normalized risk.
