Default Re: amarillo slim\'s favorite bet

I won't agree completely that this is the correct number. The calculation is fine, but the assumption of equally distributed birthdays is invalid (amusingly, this very topic was recently discussed in a recent issue of Amstat they print for students such as myself). Without thinking at all about the math, my first guess would be the chances are higher.
