An interesting new analysis reveals British MI6 agent, and probably
the world's most 'shot after' spy, James Bond, has dodged a total of
4,662 bullets during his 22-film long Hollywood career.
A formulaic report in New Scientist attempts to explain how hired killers missed someone as big as Sean Connery and slow as Pierce Brosnan.
"A static well-aimed shot would almost certainly have proved lethal,
but assuming all 4662 were ‘on the run’, the probability of a single
fatal shot is about 5 percent. That is, the chance of a single shot
missing is 0.95, and hence the probability of all shots missing is
0.954662 or 1.4 × 10-104, which is as close to zero as makes no
difference."
To factor in the values, another statistic says Bond has had over 130
attempts on his life. And he's finished off a total of 198 villains.
