Shockingly, that gives us n between 19 and 20.

I find this quite hard to believe. Can anyone verify this?

I can verify that it's wrong. f=365 gives n=23 for the b-day problem, so it can't be 20 for f=22,100. I quickly found that n=70 gives 11%, and after that the intermediate values blow up in Excel, so you need a better program to get to 50%.
