Rare 29 Double-Yolk Eggs In Tray 

It's not unusual for Charlotte Matthews, a U.K. cake decorator, to buy a tray of 30 eggs at a time. 

But there was something incredibly unusual with the tray of eggs that she bought. When she cracked open the eggs, all had double yolks except the very last one... 29 out of the 30 eggs. 

According to research, the probability of having a double-yolk egg is 1 in 1,000. This may not seem to be such a rarity considering the large number of hens laying eggs.

However, getting 29 double-yolk eggs in a tray of 30 is undoubtedly very rare indeed. Could you guess what the odds are? 1 to 1,000 raised to the power of 29, or 1 to 1(87 zeros).
