madwullie Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I have a pretty rare immune condition. About 1 in 100,000 people have it. Which means roughly 50 people in Scotland have it. My girlfriend's boyfriend before me has it too. She's not some morbid coffin chasing weirdo btw, I only got diagnosed in the autumn and we've been together nearly 5 years. ETA: nor is it sexually transmitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: nor is it sexually transmitted Maybe she has a subliminal attraction to those who have it, like a hormone or something is emitted? A bit like how Alzheimer's can be smelled by some individuals? Or she is a carrier and you and her ex are the first cases of human/human transmission. Or she maybe has something in the house which affects the environment in which you live (allergen), does she have an animal for instance? Odds of her randomly being with you both are very high.

parsforlife Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Birthday sharing within families is fairly common apparently, no idea why. I think you only need something like 30 people for a shared birthday within the group to be probable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I think you only need something like 30 people for a shared birthday within the group to be probable. Counting myself and my brother, there are twelve cousins, 3 of us have the same birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I've 2 cousins who share my birthday. Birthday sharing within families is fairly common apparently, no idea why. Group incest parties. And yeah, re-meeting people on holiday, especially within the backpacker circuit isn't that unlikely. For all the ease of travel these days, people still tend to visit a fairly small number of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 True, i though it was pash at the time, for about 10 seconds. If you found them on a train in New York, they were probably covered in pash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The probability of 'someone' winning the lottery twice in a 7-year period is as high as 50/50. However, the probability of 'the same person' doing likewise is extremely small. I'm not a numbers person but I suppose this 'difference' is along the same lines as the chances of 6 consecutive numbers being drawn is the same as 6 non-consecutive? Yet the first has never happened, the second happens every draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE KING Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem 23 folk in a room and the odds are 50/50. Yeah 'birthday paradox' if we think back to our school days it's almost a certain that most of us had the same birthday in the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
