Dear All,

At the last meeting, I just remembered we were discussing some of the crazy
theorems in mathematics. In particular the Tarski Banach Paradox.

I was also on about the theorem that the probability that two random numbers
are co-prime is:

6/pi**2, which is roughly 60%

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relatively_prime

Enjoy!

Simon.
