Request How much light would the full proposed Reflect Orbital satellite array produce if all mirrors were pointed at the same spot?

Reflect Orbital was recently approved to launch a prototype satellite carrying an 18sqm mirror so they can reflect sunlight back at the earth at night. Reflect Orbital hopes to eventually launch 50,000 satellites equipped with 54sqm mirrors.

Imagine a bad actor hacks the mirrors and aims them all at a single spot. How bright would that spot be, and if it is extremely bright, what kind of physical effects might be felt in that location?

For simplicity's sake, let's pretend the same location on earth can see 50% (25,000) of the satellites at any one time, and there's no variation in luminosity based on environmental or orbital factors

How much water would be needed to put out the sun? request

For example if all the space the universe takes up, would that put out the sun? I know the sun is nuclear, not a normal fire. But still, at some point would enough water do the trick?

Request What are the chance of a random sexual encounter resulting in a pregnancy?

So, some context.

Over the weekend, I attended a LARP (Live-action Roleplay). During the LARP, two friends of mine decided that their characters had a little tumble in the hay. Their characters had never met before. After the LARP finished, they rolled a dice to see if the woman became pregnant, and she did. I think they simply rolled a D6 and decided that a "6" meant she got pregnant.

However, it got me thinking on what the, so to speak, actual odds would be?

Assuming:
* both people involved are of average fertility, in good health and, pardon the expression, of child-rearing age
* It is a chance encounter, a one-night-stand, meaning the woman can be in any part of her cycle.


So, what are the odds of a random one-night-stand between two people with the requisite parts resulting in a pregnancy?
