Default Re: A birthday puzzle

[ QUOTE ]
You should stand 23rd in line. The reason being is that the more people in front of you, the more likely it is to have already occurred. Since 23 people is the number required for there to be at least 50% chance of two people having the same birthday, you expect that any spot after that in line it has already occurred.
