I actually want to know the answer to this question.

Mostly because I think the odds are remote, yet it happens more often than is reasonable to predict. Thus, I suppose I believe in a sort of synchronicity. I'm not sure if I realized that before.

It happens as often as you should be able to predict it. This usually indicates a limited access to relevant data rather than some kind of exotic mechanism.

Sounds like the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
