    I broke 3 eggs into the frying pan for breakfast (from two separate 6 pack boxes). All three were double yolks! Not seen one for years and three come along at once :)

    Well if you knew the probability of one egg being a double yolk then your probability would be that to the power three

    Eg if it was 1/100 then the probabilityy would be 1/100 x 1/100 x 1/100 = 1/1000000

    ie 1 in a million
