A Jack Good coincidence....

For those who don't know, Jack Good was one of the leading figures in probability theory in the 20th century, working alongside Alan Turing at Bletchley Park, and going on to keep the torch of Bayes alight through the Dark Ages of the 1950s to the 1980s. </p> <p>Even he was not averse to being impressed by coincidences (ref: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/d7xk6gg">http://tinyurl.com/d7xk6gg</a> ): </p> <p>"Jack particularly loved combinatorics and number theory. A fan of numerology, he liked to point out that he arrived in Blacksburg on the seventh hour of the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh decade of the seventh year and was put in apartment seven of the seventh block of Terrace View Apartments, all by chance " </p> <p>
