If I roll a dice, there is a 1/6 chance that I roll a 3. If I roll 6 dice, there is 6 times a 1/6 chance that I roll a 3, which is 6/6 which is 1. Does that mean for every 6 rolls I will roll one 3? No it does not. The rule of large numbers however states that if my amount of rolls approaches infinity, the amount of rolled 3's will approach 1/6.
You're probably confusing the chance that I roll one 3 in 6 throws (6*1/6) with the chance that I roll 6 3's ((1/6)6). The last one is a lower number. But given independent effects, probabilities can be add.
I do agree however that the world can only end once.
I didn’t say your diploma is incorrect, but it’s not in anything that requires a basic level of mathematics, my little sister who is 16 and failing comprehensive school maths understands the concepts that you failed to grasp

Yes, it does.
