Remember in school when you learned about probability? There were always questions like, "What is the probability with 6 dice that you will roll 3 twos?" I wonder what the probability of this happening is:
When JP worked at Alabama Adventure he met a guy, Adam, who had lived at our apartment complex a few years ago. He then moved away from Birmingham for a while but came back. When he came back, he lived in our apartment complex again a few buildings over from us. When JP invited him over one night, Adam declared, "This is the exact apartment I lived in the first time I lived here." We thought it was the coolest thing that we met someone who had lived in our EXACT apartment.
Last week our community group had a social with another community group where we met a few people we had not met before. I got to talking to one of the guys (I'm terrible with names so I don't remember his). Anyway, I was asking him where he lived, and he lived in our apartment complex. I asked him which building he lived in. He told me, "Well I've lived there for about 3 years but I've changed apartments. I went from one side of the dumpster to the other." I responded, "We live next to the dumpster!" We figured out he used to live in our building. I asked him when he moved out of the building and turns out he moved out the month I moved in. That was too much of a coincidence so I had to ask, "What apartment number did you live in?" Yep turns out he lived in our EXACT apartment directly before us.
Seriously, what are the chances in a city of 229,800 (per wikipedia) you would meet not one but TWO people who lived in the EXACT same apartment as you?
