Re: Stupid probability question
Let's assume that this was a poppy type station that plays about 40 different songs. So, you have a 1/40 chance of hearing one of these songs. Then you have a 1/39 chance of hearing the next song. So about 1600-1 against hearing these two songs back to back as the NEXT two songs you hear. Then another 1600-1 against hearing them back to back again, assuming fair distribution of playlist. So 1-25600 or so? And think...rather than use this incredible statistical devation to win the lottery...you used it to listen to the radio. Woops.
