So is this your personal bonding ritual? Walk into a bar, ask this question and if people can answer, you know you're in the right place? Is this a geek test for picking girlfriends? A way to make sure everyone you talk to is a virgin? 😉

I knew the pop-culture reference immediately, but I was hoping you were looking for the real answer to compare to the SW reference. When geeks collide!
 

oh you guys are talking about a movie line from star wars, I didn't get that at all. 😱 No wonder everyone was saying the same number.

I guess I'm not geeky enough to hang with the rest of you guys. 😱 I guess I don't fit in to ATOT anymore.

Ouch!


 
The odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field are approximately three thousand seven hundred and twenty to one!

Never tell me the odds!

You guys have been watching too many TV shows and movies. Asteriod fields are still mostly empty space. Space in general is really really empty. NASA has flown quite a few probes through the solar asteriod field with little to no course corrections. If you fly something straight and blindly through the solar system's asteriod field, you'll almost certainly make it through unscathed.

Look at Voyager NASA sent out - isn't it alive and kicking even now...I heard NASA still receive signals from it and it's beyond Pluto :Q
