19 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Monopoly

15. ...But You Can Win A Game In 21 Seconds

On the other side of the coin, it's possible to complete a game of Monopoly in equally record-breaking time. Provided you've only got two players around the board, anyway. The shortest possible game requires only four turns and nine rolls of the dice, according to sociology professor Daniel J Myers. Well, it can happen, anyway.

It involves buying all the houses on one stretch and then the other player getting the Chance card which sends them to those houses, which would render them bankrupt with the amount they had to pay. Which, statistically speaking, would happen once every 253,899,891,671,040 games.
