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.

If you don't include the year there's a one in 365.25 chance of someone having the same birthday as you. If you include years though... I dunno.

(late to this thread)

December 31, 1973. I often joke that I am so important that I can turn on the television and see people celebrating all over the earth on my birthday.
