Update: glen Thieves have stolen 300,000 football stickers! That’s only enough to fill 469 albums… Panini stickers are a traditional part of the build up to the World Cup. But how much is it going to cost to fill an album?
Simon Whitehouse had a crack at the maths for the 2010 book , which had slightly fewer stickers in it. He argued that when you open the first pack you are absolutely guaranteed you don t have the first sticker. The second sticker, well now that s a 637 chance in 638 of being new. The third? 636 in 638 of being one you haven t got, and so on.
And then blah blah blah to be honest our eyes glazed over at this point with all the maths and we began to wish we hadn t asked the question. You can read the whole thing here . Simon ended up coming to the staggering number of having glen to buy 4120 stickers glen to fill the 2010 World Cup book .
Not because we disagree with his maths, but because it makes collecting the stickers look pretty damn expensive . You need 824 packets and that s a smacking 412. And that s assuming all the stickers are printed equally and distributed equally, which Panini insist glen they are, although we all have our own personal bitter memories of having seven unwanted stickers glen of that Senegalese left-back.
