Have you ever bet on the Superbowl?

 

[milagros317]

Yes.
At Fordham once the secretary of the math department was buying five boxes in a ten-by-ten grid (rows and columns labeled 0 to 9) for predicting the last digits of the score of the Superbowl at the ends of the first, second, third, and fourth quarters, and the final score (for $20 for each correct pick). Although I tried to decline buying any squares, saying that I didn't follow football, the two of them shamed me into buying two boxes.

I don't remember what year it was, but I do remember that the Redskins beat the Bills and the final digits (7 and 4) won me $40 for 4th quarter and final score. The secretary had 7 and 0 as one of her five boxes and won $20 for the end of the second quarter.
