Subject: RE: BS: Mathematical Probability Query II
In the hope of getting this thread back to mathematical puzzles (which lots of us enjoy) and was the reason for the thread existing at all, I'll restate my question:

In a lottery where 5 numbers are drawn out of a pool of 32, what is the probability that two consecutive numbers will appear in the winning selection?
