Birthday paradox - Try this out

Scroll to see replies

March is the most common month that people are born in and so this must mean that adults tend to have sex in June? Hmmmm
Whose had the most matched birthdays so far?

I've got 4 matches for my birthday - 23rd of July :biggrin:

Having now thought too much about birthdays, I have found out mine is the 322nd most common (according to US data, anyway). September 16th, however, is the most common, as is September as a birth month as a whole.

The paradox is that if you place 57 people in a room, there is a 99% chance that someone will share a birthday. I'm guessing you'd expect the number of people to be a lot higher as the chance of a birthday is 1/365

This thread has obviously gone way past 57 posts and now it's just like who has the least common birthday lol :colone:

I did a quick thread search to see if anyone was born on my date (3rd December) and...no one.

After almost 750 posts there has been no one with the same birth date as me.
