Présentation de l'éditeur

First get a pen or pencil, a piece of paper and a calculator. Then look in the book contents list and pick the 5 areas in which you think you might score as being 'unusual'; categories include physical attributes (left-handed, eyes different colours, over 6 foot 6 inches tall), job (deep-sea diver, airline pilot, maths teacher), hobbies (sky diving, rodeo riding, collecting teapots), travel (visited Moscow, Peking, Yellowstone Park), etc. Using carefully researched data, Peter Hewkin will then tell you that 1 in 500 adults have visited Yellowstone, 1 in 100,000 enjoy skydiving etc. Multiply your 5 results (500 x 100,000 x ...x ...x...) to discover whether you are indeed One in a Million. The book contains examples of the calculations for a host of celebrities and has pages left clear for the reader to make the calculations for family and friends.
