As I remember it, my chance of success at my dream school of Harvard University was less than 3%.

IV. My score was in the lowest third of all students.

V. The beard, otherwise known as the unkempt, untamed, unruly thicket of wires located on the cheeks and chin of forward John Shurna, became the unofficial mascot of Valencia's winning streak, a lucky charm that inspired everyone around it but unlike most other furry mascots-also seemed to grow like virulent kitchen mold.

I. Ahead of a first-round match pitting Lara Arruabarrena and David Marrero against Andrea Hlavackova and Lukasz Kubot, large amounts of money poured in on what would normally be an obscure contest, said Marco Blume, head of a sports book at the website, Pinnacle Sports, one of the largest and most influential betting websites in the world.

IV. A major sports betting website suspended betting on Sunday for a mixed double match at the Australian Open, raising suspicions of match-fixing at one of the world's most prestigious tennis Tournaments.

I. Everyone has gone through a fight where the pilot asks you to tighten your seat belts because of excessive turbulence, but even though it is so important to things like air safety, we just have absolutely no idea how it works.

II. The problem is aggravated by the fact that wherever the need to study turbulence arises like in jet propulsion-chemical reactions take place alongside the high pressure and extreme conditions, which makes it difficult for researchers to study the exact conditions needed to produce Turbulence.

III. If somehow we could figure it out, it could be applied to a variety of uses since turbulence occurs everywhere in nature.

IV. It has even perplexed scientists to such an extent that Einstein once famously said, "Before I die, I hope someone will clarify quantum physics for me. After I die, I hope God will explain turbulence to me."
