Not much clearer?  And subject line needs expansion.

What exactly do you propose is an accident*?
That 3 seqs begin:
1,2,5,12,29,70.  169 4...

If you will identify  what is (unusual) you'll likely half explain
that it may not be (unusual.)

Well 1, and 2, are not a very unique start.
And 5,12,29,70
and even subsequent terms grow or increase fairly uniformly.

?? It happens very often..*  [snipped by previous poster.]

Do you mean with a different start? Different seqs?
How often?
40 nPr 6 = inches in 10 miles = 633600.

Names and numbers are not random.


In 1977 one Donald Stuart McC   and myself
            Donald Stuart McD...      no relation,
            worked in the same office.

In 198x I got a call "is that Stuart McDonald? phone 896-820? Dunedin NZ"
Well no, but close! This is Don Stu McD Wellington   896-820.
Same name and number but different city.**

So we need nearly 1 dozen digits to get a unique phone number.
911 999 111 aren't unique.

4 million hex  = 3D 0900.

Compare closest lotto combinations (combination sequence number.)
Out of 800 lotto draws with 40 C 6 combinations, the closest
pair of draws may be very close.  In New zealand a particular
man won    loto 2 weeks in a row, Ist division.

It is also (very common) for 2x radio active decays
Geiger clicks from a sample to happen close together // or far apart.
This is expected for random events.

Especially double lightning strikes, and Earthquakes.(?)

not accident?  but interesting.
