the information leaflets for medication are written here (Germany) in case numbers and not in percentages, following a "1 in X" scheme (1 in 100, 1 in 1000, 1 in 10000) which I think kind of makes sense for inclusiveness, on the other side I do think this way is almost as if providing values on a logarithmic scale, due to the X in "1 in X" being given in base-10 magnitudes. I wonder if it would actually be more intuitive to use dice for comparison. Like 1/36 would be the probability to roll doubles of 6, 1/216 would be the probability to roll triples of 6, etc. Rolling 6 dices to 6 would be 1/46656 and 7 dices to 6 would be 1/279936, ... At least my generation has played enough Yatzeeh to have a feel for dice-throwing :-)
