A modern day wiseman makes certain statements on an unusual website.

His statement include the numbers 3 and 8.

Replies to his statements associate a 6 digit User Number(UN) for all replies, and a 5 digit Member Number(MN) for registered members of the forum.

Four replies are made, two from Anonymous users with only UNs, and two replies from registered members who each have a UN and a MN.

3 is sequentially adjacent to 8 in one UN and one MN of the registered users.

What is the probability of this happening?

What is the probability minus the meaningless mumblings of the anonymous users?
 
QUESTIONS:
1: Is this serious? If so:
2: can these numbers have leading 0's (like 01234)?
3: "3 is sequentially adjacent to 8": does that mean 38 and 83 ?
4: What does the last sentence mean; only 2 registered users replied?

AND: are you familiar with probabilities?
Answer this: what is the probability that a 4digit number (no leading 0's) contains the 2digit number 38;
as example: 7381 or 3800 or 9938?
