Last Monday I got two punctures in 500 yds. It seems that my front tyre had a slit in it, so when the tyre compressed on the road the slit would open up and the inner tube would squeeze into the gap, then when the tyre rolled onwards the slit closed up chomping bits out of the inner tube.
I effected a temporary fix by putting a puncture repair patch on the inside of the tyre.
I have now replaced tge tyre with a new Schwalbe Marathon which are meant to be puncture proof, I hope.
The puncture proof Specialized Armadillo on my racer 700x23 has done well so far (about 600 miles of puncture free cycling) although a small nail did find it's way through the protection to give me one puncture.
