I know two people with that birthday! My best friend and my mum


Yeah I know 1 other person IRL with it, but it seems it just doesn't exist in the online community! (or at least in the sample of people who would click and reply to this thread on TSR)

31st March? It's a very rare date from what I've seen and heard.

EDIT: Only this one, post 74, and we're on page 30+!

To get 100% chance you need 367 people due the the 1 in 365 but under 100% combinations increase the probability a lot quicker

2 people, only 1 way in which the birthday can be shared
3 people there are 3 ways
4 people there are 6 ways
5 people there are 10 ways
etc...

and at 57 people, there are 1596 possible combinations!

Hence the high chance at such a low number!



People usually don't have sexual intercourse in some days of the year, and many people have the same favorite days. At least, where I come from, the majority of people I know have birthdays within 20 march and april. Their parents probably were on summer holiday and hadn't had what to do :ahee:
