Here is the list of movies that flopped the most at the box-office.
In the film and media industry, if a film released in theatres fails to break even by a large amount, it is considered a box-office bomb (or box-office flop), thus losing money for the distributor, studio, and/or production company that invested in it. Due to the secrecy surrounding costs and profit margins in the film industry, figures of losses are usually rough estimates at best, and there are often conflicting estimates over how much a film has lost. To accommodate this uncertainty, the lo...

Would bigger flop be when the movie lost more money overall or if it lost more money in relation to how much was put in?

What are the chances a QR code has a face? (It is expired, by the way, so it does not work).

Is the face this thing in the center?

Oh you mean the thing with two 3x3 eyes?

For any given 7x7 random binary pixels, the odds itβs that exact pattern you got is 2^49 or 1 in about 500 trillion.
However, all qr codes have the 5x5 pixel box on right bottom corner that makes up the right eye.
So the odds the 3x3 pixels next to it make a ring is 2^9, 1 in 512, given that you accept a single off pixel in the corner, there are 5 in 512 odds it looks like an eye.
For the mouth, first the black below the eye adds another 1 in 8, for 5 in 4,096. About 0.12%.
For the 2x7 pixels that make up the mouth, the exact you got is 2^14, however it clearly does not need to be perfect, as it isnβt in the image. The odds that one of them is a 7 pixel line is
1-(\frac{2^7-1}{2^7} \;)^2
or about 1.5%. This equation in plain language, is the odds you donβt succeed, to the power of how many times you roll for it, to get the chance you are not successful; the subtraction gives the reverse odds that you are.
If you donβt consider the furthest sides of the line, your odds increase to
1-(\frac{2^5-1}{2^5} \;)^2
or about 3.1%.
So 0.12% times 3.1%, is 0.0037 percent.
Which 1 in about 26,420.
Which is rare, but there are a lot of QR codes.
BTW: how do you add the equation thingies in discourse?
Edit: Yes, the html formatted one.
Edit: NVM got it.

Canβt you just use the β+ =β key on the keyboard? Or are you talking about something like a html formatted equation thing?

Is this a similar technique to the one used to see βsketchesβ beneath some paintings?

A citizen scientist found an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of a K-star within Keplerβs data.
Alexander Venner picked his way by hand through the data collected by a now-retired NASA telescope called Kepler, which examined the sky for exoplanets

There could be more habitable zone planets still within Keplerβs data waiting to be combed out.

I think there is still going to be a very good while before we discover a good terra like planet as a candidate for alien life or colonization
