I took care to say ~24% rather than 24%, because the true way to add those
probabilities is (1 - (1 - 1%)^24) = 21.432%

After 1,000 iterations you get:  (1-(1 - 1%)^1000) = 0.999956

That is, there is a 99.9995% chance you will *not *succeed in passing 1,000
trials in which you have a 99% chance of success in each one, where success
is defined as remaining in the physical world.
