Overpressure ammunition, commonly designated as +P or +P+ (pronounced Plus-P or Plus-P-Plus), is small arms ammunition that has been loaded to produce a higher internal pressure when fired than is standard for ammunition of its caliber (see internal ballistics), but less than the pressures generated by a proof round.

  4. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    Evaluating equation gives P(A′) ≈ 0.492703. Therefore, P(B) ≈ 1 − 0.492703 = 0.507297 (50.7297%). This process can be generalized to a group of n people, where p(n) is the probability of at least two of the n people sharing a birthday. It is easier to first calculate the probability p (n) that all n birthdays are different.

One can't judge his accomplishments by his list of wins because World War II interrupted his career just as World War I interrupted that of Philippe Thys .
