Lol. That's my birthday.

Lol the birthday paradox in full display:

The birthday paradox refers to the counterintuitive fact that only 23 people are needed for that probability to exceed 50%

Finally got around to getting to research the link when I got home.   Enjoyed the math lessons.  Makes sense once you start running the numbers.  I found the breaking points (50% or better) for the number of people needed to have 3 people and 4 people to also share the same birthday fascinating.  



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
