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?

Request What are the odds of dying in a commercial plane PER HOUR PER INDIVIDUAL?

"Air travel is the nation’s safest form of transit. Injury and death rates in US air travel are measured by the rate of incidents per 100 million passenger miles, the total miles traveled by all air passengers." https://usafacts.org/articles/is-flying-safer-than-driving/

I am not everyone in the plane though. I want to know MY risk of dying. And while by distance is perfectly valid (since if I took a car instead I'd still have to travel the same distance), I'm curious if airplanes are still THAT much safer if we instead assessed the risk by time
