One in a Krillion: What It Means and Every 100-Point Answer

“One in a krillion” is a twist on “one in a million” — krill swim in swarms so vast that being one in a krillion means being genuinely one of a kind. The phrase comes from the krill in Happy Feet Two, and it is the tagline and the top scoring tier of Krillion, the daily trivia game where the rarest correct answer wins.

Where “one in a krillion” comes from

In Happy Feet Two (2011), two krill named Will and Bill (voiced by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon) leave the swarm because Will wants to be more than one tiny krill among countless others. Their scenes turned the pun into a long-running meme, and people still search for “I am one in a krillion” clips today. Krillion’s name plays on the same pun: in a game about rare answers, the best answer is the one in a krillion.
