This notion of math is interesting in that people are often fooled by coincidence. The other day I was at the dentist and reading a magazine article about bread. Right then the office calls out for a Mr Baker. Can you believe it? Amazing? No. Coincidences like that happen all of the time. Some are minor and unimportant and others catch your attention.
What are the chances that these are all coincidences? That's hard to say. People are so good at seeing patterns where they exist and where they do not. A match for one person is a miss for another. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that hundreds of these coincidences happen to me every day. I just don't pay attention to them.
To read some coincidence issues take a look at:
Here you can see some interesting things that seem to match up. Coincidences? The true ones are.

For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal. You who now read these sentences join a small but wiser minority. Martin Gaardner (Psychology of the Psychic)

You guys are amazing. But I have climbed to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. I climbed El Cap in Yosemite 3 times (1000m). Rode on horseback to watch rhinos. Stood on top of the pyramids at Giza. Saw a meteor that cast shadows. Watched the Berlin wall being built. Swam with piranhas. Was staring into volcano when it erupted and hit a town 8 miles away.
