That's essentially the Birthday problem.  It's not a problem with Random
Mix, but rather with your understanding of statistics, probably
compounded by the fact that you tend to notice it when it happens, but
ignore the situation when it doesn't, making it seem like it happens
even more frequently than it really does.
