  Let $\left\{X^{1}_k\right\}_{k=1}^{\infty},
\left\{X^{2}_k\right\}_{k=1}^{\infty}, \cdots,
\left\{X^{d}_k\right\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ be $d$ independent sequences of
Bernoulli random variables with success-parameters $p_1, p_2, \cdots, p_d$
respectively, where $d \geq 2$ is a positive integer, and $ 0<p_j<1$ for all
$j=1,2,\cdots,d.$ Let \begin{equation*} S^{j}(n) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} X^{j}_{i} =
X^{j}_{1} + X^{j}_{2} + \cdots + X^{j}_{n}, \quad n =1,2 , \cdots.
\end{equation*} We declare a "rencontre" at time $n$, or, equivalently, say
that $n$ is a "rencontre-time," if \begin{equation*} S^{1}(n) = S^{2}(n) =
\cdots = S^{d}(n). \end{equation*} We motivate and study the distribution of
the first (provided it is finite) rencontre time.
