Visualising how close random GUIDs come to being the same

Summary

Guid Smash The chances of generating two GUIDs that are the same is astronomically small. The odds are 1 in 2^122 — that’s approximately 1 in 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00. Guid Smash visualises the unlikelihood by showing how close each new GUID comes to matching the target GUID. At a rate of comparing 400,000 guids per second, Guid Smash should see an exact match within the next 421,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.
