The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Corrected entry: When the Gynaecologist says we insert 5 embryos for a 25% chance one will attach. Wouldn't one in five be a 20% chance?
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Corrected entry: For the game, there are 16 questions - 8 for each gender. When Ross says they have a tie, there are about 5 questions left on the board. Ross then goes to the Lightning Round and completely forgets about the other 5 questions. (00:07:30)
Correction: Ross says from the start that each team will answer ten questions. Ross has just made up more, in case one category is more popular than the others.
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Corrected entry: During the guys' lightning round, when they give an incorrect answer they are given a new question. The girls however have to keep guessing at what Chandler's job is, even though Rachel has given an incorrect answer.
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Corrected entry: The plot hinges on the girls losing the Lightning Round because they don't know what Chandler's job is, but there is no reason for it; as there was no penalty for a wrong answer, they could have simply answered wrong and moved on to the next question. Both teams had done this already, so the girls knew it was an option; they just conveniently forget it so the plot can move forward.
Correction: They knew they were running out of time and this could be their last question, so didn't want to waste time by passing, especially since they thought they knew it, or could guess. No guarantee the next question would be any easier. Entirely normal behaviour for a quiz, rather than a convenient plot choice.
Correction: That's not how the statistics work. There's no guarantee that any embryos will attach at all - presumably the odds of any one embryo attaching is 5%, so adding 5 makes the odds 25%. It has to be a balance between ensuring a vaguely decent chance of a viable pregnancy vs. the risk of having multiple babies. For example if they inserted 20 embryos to potentially "guarantee" at least one would attach, at least statistically, the odds would be much much higher of say 5 of them attaching, which would cause great complications for the mother and indeed the fetuses, not all of which would likely survive.
