monopolyIn what will be a surprise to absolutely no one, a Cornell University study has concluded that a simple two-player game of Monopoly has a 12% chance of never ending. This result was after studying computer simulations, statistical sampling, Markov chains, and Brownian motion.

I know for a fact that they are wrong: all Monopoly games end, 100% of the time. Their error was in forgetting to study the motion of flying tables.
