A statistician bought a new tool that finds correlations between different fields in databases. Hoping for new discoveries he ran his new tool on his large database and found highly correlated events. These are his discoveries:

  • The children have the same last names as parents.
  • The children are much younger than the parents.
  • The main cause of divorces is weddings.
