1/googolplex seems pretty pointless. There's no way anyone can precommit well enough for that to matter. You could be another AI that the Oracle has the source to, and it will never be certain enough of its prediction to accept the 1/googolplex.

Then again, you can't actually offer something that low for similar reasons.

How do you even make a quantum coin with 1/googolplex chance?

int main(void) { return 0; } ought to be a close-enough approximation for all practical purposes. :-)

That's way bigger than 1/googolplex, thanks to cosmic rays.

I don't know, but testing it is likely to be even harder...
