Why do buses come in threes?

An enjoyable light read that opens the lid on teh mathematics of everyday life.

One of the examples - which is the best day of the week to buy a lottery ticket for a Saturday lottery?
The answer is Friday - if you buy it earlier in the week you are more likey to be run over by a car (1 in 10m) before you can collect your prize (1 in 14m)!
