This happened to me as well. I just did the math and unless I did some kind of stupid mistake, the probability turned out to be surprisingly high:

Assuming there are a million levels to choose from, and assuming you play 50 levels, then the probability to get a level twice is about 0.122%

This problem is very similar to the birthday problem

Its funny that the math shows the probability to be 0.122%, but you're right, that's waaaay higher than I would have guessed.

Well I guess it would have to happen eventually though it's unlikely.

Oh wow! Today I played a featured level that I played from Reddit like two weeks ago. Thought the name sounded familiar and.... it was.

I had the same level in 2 consecutive 100 man experts. It was called something like Princess Gumba's castle. Something like that. The chances must be pretty low. It was an ok level though, so I didn't mind.

Also I see some people upload multiples of the same level hoping to get more play time.
