Just how improbable is this? I was leafing through New Scientist when I came across a picture of Stephen Fry. At the same instant, Mr Fry's voice came out of the radio, trailing a programme he was about to do. Clearly it was a meaningless coincidence, but the odds against it must be very large. What I don't know is how to go about calculating those odds. How would you work it out?
