If throwing dice and getting 9/10 times number 6, I believe the probability of getting number six is higher that 1/6!

Later, my spouse got 692xxx, oldest son the same 692xxx, later the kids have been receiving 696xxx (could be also Finnair Junior series?).

Mine starts at 642 - I'm not sure if it's the number I got as a junior member, or if this was later as an adult. I'm a bit worried that I have no memory when I signed up as I should not be approaching Alzheimers age yet!

Edit: I found an MA thesis which describes an earlier invite only -programme launched in 1978! Anyone admit they were a member then? P 14 https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/fb9...073853c2b0.pdf
Also, the junior card was at least around in 2001 (via google books: International Cases in Tourism Management, Horner & Swarbrooke, 2004, p 223)
