    "E - Sure thing."

    A "sure thing" is something we can feel 'sure' about, i.e. confident. That suggests high likelihood, not a 100% definite. What a carp scale for them to be using anyway.

    I would have thought a "sure thing" would be "over 85%" (depending upon the risk of failure, of course).


    sure —adj. 1 (often foll. by of or that) convinced. 2 having adequate reason for a belief or assertion. 3 (foll. by of) confident in anticipation or knowledge of. 4 reliable or unfailing. 5 (foll. by to + infin.) certain. 6 undoubtedly true or truthful. —adv. colloq. certainly.  be sure (in imper. or infin.; foll. by that + clause or to + infin.) take care to; not fail to. for sure colloq. certainly. make sure make or become certain; ensure. sure enough colloq. in fact; certainly. to be sure admittedly; indeed, certainly.  sureness n. [French from Latin securus]

            well the tulips are hitting the fan here...

            In fact I think the entire tulip production of Holland for last 10 years has just been splattered...
