20 Number Game
-
Apparently the chances of getting all 20 numbers is 0.0112%... basically almost impossible.
Play here: https://pabo.github.io/20numbers/
How to play: You have to put each randomly generated 0-1,000 number into one of the 1-20 positions and keep going until you run out of positions. My first try I got to 10 numbers before I was squeezed out.
I found this because of this video of a guy doing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/164hq3h/request_what_are_the_odds/
Enjoy!

I guess those odds assume perfect play, which is probably not easy.
I would think those are the odds assuming you simply map the numbers to increments of 50.

Not a bad start for an approximation of perfect play, but there would be more to it than that.
