Coincidences

I got a chance to read a post last week; the post was about "coincidences" and "god playing dice". I see things as mere coincidences, instead of playing dice. But it is difficult for us to see things as coincidences, since we always think of probability and possiblities of the events.So sometime it makes us to think that Someone is controlling us and is responsible for this coincidence. Isnt coincidences, only?

I remember one good coincidence, that happened in my college. There was a very nice chap, funny guy from our batch. He became a very good friend of mine. In hostels, each year students will be allotted new rooms. during my third year I got one such room and the room number was 23. Surprisingly the number was same as that of the registration number of good friend.

When I read that post, I remember this coincidence that happened in my college. That night I travelled to cyber city(athaan namma madurai) by bus. More surprisingly the seat number was 23. I didnt realize even while booking, and only after I got into the bus.

I started applying my school maths and calculated probability of all these events and ended with 4.6 * (10 power -6) which is almost zero :-).

No one cannot play dice to end up with these coincidences.
