99%^62 = 53.6%
Out by an order of magnitude but your point still stands.

What do you mean? 0.99^62=0.53626
Assuming audio between 2 peers at 1 meter was somehow a solved problem (per above it's not), and collision avoidance was a non-issue (problem worsens exponentially with additional peers), that's 1.16KB/sec in some idealized non-existent reality of bandwidth to run a compelling game for 62 people. Perhaps parent comment refers to a flash mob game of Chess.
Assuming Bluetooth only reliably fails between two peers 1% of the time (oh, but to dream), that's a 99%^62 = 5.36% chance of a bus full of people successfully joining a single mesh.
Silliness is in the eye of the beholder!
