Last Monday, we were interviewing a student on the topic of 'Hobbies and Leisure'. He was given a sheet of pictures to help with the subject by his teacher, and as he was discussing the theme, he pointed at a picture of some footballers and said 'This is me!' And indeed, though it was only the back of him, it WAS him! What are the chances of such a thing happening?? Let's unpack this a little as to what was involved...
A few years ago, the teacher put some pictures together - she's not sure where she got this picture from, but certainly it was a local magazine or leaflet, as the student played for a non-league team, and no longer plays for them... The teacher could easily have used this picture for sports, but chose to put it in hobbies instead.
The student comes to this school, and ends up in this teacher's class.
During the Maturita exam, he walks in and chooses THAT question - one out of 25 possibilities!!
And he picks a theme that includes a picture of him on the worksheet... Cool, or what?
On a similar theme, we had another student whose brother passed last year, and who had the subject of 'Family life and home'...and what do you know, the brother came in and picked exactly the same question! And BOTH of them got a '1'!!!
Ok, mathematicians...over to you!! What are the odds of either of those things happening?? ;-)
