OK, here's something really cool:

Birthday: 2/6/86
Time of birth: 1:43 p.m.

Now, right away I'm sure some aspies here can see how cool that is. But wait, there's more! 13-43 was my mom's code in high school for "I love you" and "26-86" was code for "I love you twice as much." This was written in her year book!! !!

Additionally: I used to be depressed and I wisehd many a time I was never born.

My mom had a C section.

I realized a little while ago that probably I should have been more specific.

November 2nd, 1973
november 27, 1961
28th december, 1961

and mine's December 13th

Statistically, in a group of 23 people, the odds approach greater than 50-50 that at least two of them share the same birthdate. We need two more to see what happens. In a group of 41, it approaches 90% then levels off.

How can the odds approach greater than 50-50 that two will share the same birthdate, when there's only 23 dates in the pool? There's still 342 different dates it could be.

It's all to do with probabilities. At first glance the odds would appear to be as some have suggest, 1 in 365.25. But, this does not take into account the principal of stacked arrays:

For a 23 group sample:

(1) Probability of at least one coincident birthday

This is 1 - Pr(no coincident birthday), where the lack of a coincident birthday leads to an occupancy diagram of

[1,..,1] [0,...,0]

(23) (342)

U is then 365!/(23!342!), while B is 23!/(1!)23 (0!)342 = 23! and thus Pr(no coincident birthday) = 365-23 x 365!/342! = 0.493, so that Pr(>1 coincident birthday) = 0.507, from which the original Birthday Paradox follows.

Sorry for my late reply, I only just stumbled over this thread again for the first time in weeks.

I'll trust you that that makes sense. It looks scientific-y, so you are either a genius at math or a genius at beloney-ing.
