Unlikely event (Posted on 2019-02-21) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Once I read a magazine article about probability where the author stated there was an unlikely event. The probability was given as

(1 - 10-21)1025

This probability is pretty small but hard to get a handle on. It is, however, quite close to 10-n, where n is an integer.

Find this integer.
