My wife, Karen, and I are at a wedding in Santa Barbara. The bride had made about 40 music CDs with their favorite songs wrapped in wrapping with a small ribbon attached. All of them identically sitting on a table together. The bride tells us to grab one as a permanent gift from the wedding couple. Karen goes up and just grabs one at random, and when she returns with it to our table I see that the ribbons have little name tags on them which Karen had missed. The tags on this one said Brian and Karen.
What are the odds? 1 in 40?
