And the reason it's a waste of time is not just because the number is unrelated to the semantics of "pot odds" but because people use "pot odds" to calculate the value of a bet based on hands across the full range of likelihood of winning, the answer would be some number in the middle of the full range of hand probabilities.

There's no pattern to recognize here.

For shits and giggles, I'll disagree and say that the answer would be a percentage, for example you'd win 27.36% of the time.

However that number would be no use to anyone. To use another analogy, it'd be like analysing what % of road vehicles lorries comprise in the context of crossing a road.
