Hi ahhaha; Re: "The question was how did Clark arrive at the denominator of the fraction 1/263."

This statement of yours is in error. What Clarke actually wrote was:

I don't know when or how it originated, but believe me it's pure coincidence, even though the odds against it are 263 to 1.

There is no fraction 1/263. Instead, there is a mention of odds of 263 to 1. Why do you continue to talk about the fraction? Clarke never mentioned such a beast.
