oooooh okay, so it's approaching 1? that makes sense thanks. :smile: It's not clear from the graph.


Exactly yes, the probability tends to 1, so you could even take everyone who has lived in this planet (alive and dead) and it's still not guaranteed two people share a birthday.

Hey there =]

Don't know if you've heard of the birthday paradox, but it basically states that once you reach 57 people in a room there is a 99% chance that they share the same birthday.

So to try this out, just post your birthday and we'll see how many people it takes before a birthday is shared

To start off - June 18th

I'm only one day above :smile: 17th June :biggrin:

Nobody's ever born on 7th August. Honestly, nothing has ever happened on my birthday, it's so depressing. The most uneventful day of the year :cry:


it's okay, I'm born on the 7th of August :ahee:
