there are 2 things people confuse.........
1) these are the odds of this happening with just 17 rolls of the dye, looking forward ...... this is not the same as rolling the dice a million times and looking back seeing that this happened as sequence during all those million rolls of the dice.
2) this is pretty minor.......... to get those odds, you'd have to specify beforehand that it has to be the 2 that is rolled so often. not one of the 6 dye faces.
all kinds of weird things happen in life...... but it's not predictable beforehand what they will be.
