The probability that an random integer of length N contains a given
9-digit sequence is no less than 1-((1-(1/10^9))^(N/9)). Given that
xkcd is ungodly large, it seems (offhand) significantly less likely
that this sequence does not appear than that ehird has retracted eir
ballot and voted normally but the message in which e did so was
erased from all of our hard drives by cosmic rays.
