3 blue-eyed people in an apartment


What are the odds on that? That one scene where they are all together made it very noticeable.
Its like havinng three red-heads in a room. What are the odds of that happening?

reply

It's common.

So the odds that it can and does happen are pretty high.

i guess by region huh. or if you are an underworld vampire, ha

reply

Blue-eyed people are more common that redheads. In movies and tv, blue-eyed people are more common than brown-eyed people.

reply

Really? Name some more movies with three blue eyes in a scene. I'd like to check them out.

I agree they are more common in movies

reply

Midsommar.

reply

Nice. I've seen that film but I seem to remember many more characters in a space than 3 but I'll check it out again. Thanks!

In a movie? 100%

Am watching a series called Line of Separation. Virtually every actor has bright blue eyes.

reply

Are you racist against people with blue eyes?

reply

No just against people named Sandy.

by the way that was just me messing around. All love over here.....peace

It's ok. Sandyphobia is rampant these days!

In the U.S. about 27% of people have blue eyes so the probability that 3 randomly selected people all have blue eyes is 2% (0.27³).

nice link!

see that's what i'm talking about. the probability factor with only 3 people

reply

The probability of finding 3 redheads in a room is 0.0008%.

OP: You watch a classic like Rear Window & THAT'S all you have to say about it?

reply

Most Americans of English, Irish and Northern European ancestry have blue eyes.
