Bah, using % is a cheap trick to make it look larger.
I prefer 0.00000000000000000259697

I did know the formula, just didn't think I have a tool good enough to 
handle these very large and very small numbers. I was wrong, actually 
even my pocket calculator easily can...

It's btw close to the probability that a random scramble results in a 
solved 3x3. Just to get on-topic again... :-)

Cheers!
