This is a question Spoooky Coincidence

B3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.

He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.

* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

What are the odds?
There was this promotion once with cereals where they had little toys in them, I think it was the Incredible Hulk. There were five of them to collect.

You know how it always goes, don't you? No matter how many of those damned boxes of cereral you eat, you never get the whole set.

Well, once, the family went through exactly five boxes, and got a different toy in each one.

The odds of this happening are about 26 to 1.

Perhaps not spooky enough for a third 'o', but the calculation killed some time.
