0What chance is there for which event? Also, I suspect that there are some implicit assumptions, e.g. that all people mentioned are students of the school? – 2012-09-12

0This sounds like you want to find the probability of something that really happened. As if asking "How likely is it that this weeks lottery numbers were ... and last weks were ...?" A priori the event is extremly unlikely, no matter what numbers you plug in for the dots. But you can of course plug in the *real* lottery numbers of the last two drawings and wonder how come such an unlikely event really happened?! But that's just it - it happened. Numbers from past drawings are so much easier to predict than future ones. – 2012-09-14
