What are the chances of finding a four leaf clover, then finding another more than 5 feet away?

Question

Did this about a month ago.

Did finding one increase my luck enough to find the next?

Answer 1

Good possibility. I've had lawns that reliably grew four-leaf clovers. I could easily find a dozen or more at a time. The fluke in the plant's genetic makeup that allows for them also allows that it occurs many times within the same source plant.

Answer 2

i donno but i kept finding alotta four leaf lovers in my backyard. i still have one of them and i gave one to my sister..it hasnt really affected me or her

Answer 3

Chances are very ow, as I've not heard of this before. I think you must be pretty lucky!

Of course finding one does not increase your chance of finding another in the laws of probability, but maybe it was the luck...

Answer 4

Well, I used to find whole patches of four leaf clovers at high school and the five leaf ones were the "finds."  My friends and I laughed that the school was built over a nuc waste dump, and the clover were going crazy.  The school is very old, so it wasn't but I guess that the clover leaves all came from the same base plant.

Answer 5

No it a four leaf clover is a genetic anomaly in the clovers.  the two clovers probably cam from the same mother clover

Answer 6

chances are pretty good.  4 leaf clovers are a common variant of clover, like a common birth defect.  if you keep looking at clover you can usually find them.  try it again.
