Researchers at Yale have officially determined the statistical likelihood of finding the Princess in the NES classic, Super Mario Bros. According to the study, players only have a 12.5% chance of finding her, which means you’ll run into the dreaded mushroom retainers for the other 7 out of 8 times. The proof is on the T-shirt, literally. Chances that I want that T-shirt = 100%.

    Holy crap, you’re right. Bet the eggheads at Yale didn’t see that one comin’. Take that, eggheads. I still want the shirt, though.
