I went through 9 folks to ask for a movie but all turned me down... What is the chance of that supposing a 50-50 unbiased response? None of them know each other

haha... you've clearly identified the fallacy of my pretend-argument. :) If you see the posting again, it bore the ":P" sign which was meant to convey a tongue-in-cheek tone. heheh.. just for fun, I made it sound as though there was an incredible odds. The odds was of course real, but for a different reason as you have correctly guessed in your second paragraph. Please don't mind my occasional crazy ramblings... :D

as you have said, "maybe you asked at too short notice, and that would severely decrease the chances of people saying yes."

that is true... Would this be a better sign? (:^) hahaha...
