The example that comes to mind is the Birthday Problem.
If you are in a room with 22 other people, there is a 22 in 365 chance one of them shares your birthday. Relatively unlikely. But there is a 50% chance there are two people in the room that share a birthday. Much more likely.
Very interesting, that does seem similar
