Yep, and throw in that humans are just bad at estimating statistics.
Like the birthday paradox: If there are just 23 people in a room, then there's a 50% probability that two people share the same birthday.

What's the math behind this?
And is this for day-month or day-month-year?

I'll throw you another curve ball:
He was working in the same complex, and we'd run into each other at lunch.
The project he was there for was one I would have been assigned to, if I hadn't left our previous company. (I was the #1 SME for that bit of software)
Therefore, I would have been the one sent there anyways that week, and been in that area. I actually confirmed this with my old boss.
And what are the odds people meet in the first place? Those exact same factors are what make folks run into each other again later. It would actually be weird if you never ran into people you know.
>…Bangalore. Our trips had nothing to do with each other, other than we both work in tech and were visiting tech companies.
