Yes he can make 200,000 shots in a row. There is even a way to figure out the odds of that happening. Probably something like 1 in a 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. But I think thats the part you don't get (or maybe ommiting to fit the criteria of your logic). That regardless of how you look at it the possibility is there.

The part you don't get is that I stated the odds can be figured out about 4 times already.
You just refuse to admit that you didn't provide the information needed to calculate those odds.
Your question is like " x * y = 12" but you don't tell what x or y is so the answer is (1,12);(2,6);(3,4);(12,1);(6,2);(4,3)...ect...(fra ctions and etc..)
If you really think about it you will realize that the only number you gave was 20% and that is not the number that relates to the odds you are seeking.
I got to go now but consider that I have a bachelors degree in computer science and mathematics.
