I don't want to upset Miguel but if he thinks that this is a
coincidence I would ask him to write on a paper six numbers (from 1
to 6) and next to throw a die to see how many time he will guess all
the 6 numbers from 6 (similar with the 6 endings)

He can repeat this trial how many times he wants...

After several years maybe he can guess 5 from the 6 cases (Latin
situation) but for 6 from 6 he will need more times than a single
life.

Best Regards,
Marius
