If you take 70 people at random there is a 99.9% chance two of them will have the same birthday but that # doesn't reach 100% unless you have 367.

It's a guaranteed certainty that two people out of ANY 367 will share a birthday? Yeah, I'm calling total BS on that.

I think it's pretty funny when people react with surprise that another person shares their birthay.


seriously it's not very unlikely

I have another one for you - "birthdays" are really anniveraries of birth - to celebrate the year, for example, you would have to have the party the day before the birthday.

For example, Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January 8th, 1935. He was living his 365th day on January 7th, 1936.

Because we don't start counting at the "Zeroth" of anything - zero is a placeholder - a null digit, if you will.

My roommate and I have the same birthday. Never knew each other until I moved in. Cuhrazy, right?

I remember reading this in a statistics and probability textbook. I don't remember how the math works out. It really is kind of trippy stuff.

but how long did it take you to get to work today? Only took me 45 minutes in what is usually a 1.5 hour drive. Saved 50% in gas!!

If you know a woman who only has sons, she is the first female in her maternal line, going all the way back, through millions of generations, across species, through evolution, to not have a daughter.
