Cambridge Punting

Whilst punting down the River Camb in Cambridge on student posed for a picture with the Cambridge Backs behind. A nice memory captured, she held on to that photo. At the same time another student punting in the opposite direction posed for a picture with the opposite side of Camb behind; a nice memory capture and held on to. A few years later, the two students ended up working in the same office in Cambridge, literally sitting in side-by-side desks. One of them hung their punting photo on their pin board and in the background was the other student – who recognised the scene and brought in her photo from that same moment. So basically two people captured each other in a photo when they did not know each other; they came to know each other and to work side by side and even to discover that this had happened. They are scientists so both were only mildly amused by this. What are the odds, really? It should be noted that as an observer of this coincidence (as it was later played out at the office) the rating given below will be by me and not by those actually involved.
