I'm at Square One in Toronto. It's a huge mall. I'm buying a present for my gf at the body shop.

Later that night, I'm at an arcade playing games. I get a little thirsty, so I leave and walk across the street to a starbucks. The guy working the counter is flaming gay. I order my drink and he keeps looking at me funny. After a few seconds, he tells me about how he was standing in line behind me at the body shop, then proceeds to hit on me while I internally freak out about a gay stalker.


I grew up in Ohio and moved to Illinois at 16. I got to be friends with a girl living on my block. When we left for college, she went to Ohio. She ended up dating a guy I grew up with and now hangs out with a group of kids I know, who all went to my old high school.

You seem a little overly edgy with regards to our flaming brothers. What's the deal?

If you put 20 people in a room, the odds of at least 2 of the people having the same birthday are suprisingly high.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup.

23 people gives you a 50% chance. IIRC 50 people means its 99% likely that 2 share the same birthday.

FWIW my birthday is July 14th. I'm gonna see my daddy for the first time on July 14th.

can you show the math please?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you can get it a couple ways, using Cr(20,2) a simple combo fuction like that.

I just do this though. 20!/365

which is 20+19+18..../365
Just all the individual probablities of nobody having the same birthday.

and its about 180.

only 2 outcomes someone shares a birthday, or they dont.
So if its 50% it = 50-50

To tired to type more thats the jist.



I am sure you can find a good clean formula on the net somewhere if ya want though.

Been so long since I've logged in that I think my account was inactivated, or I lost it or somethin....but had such a good one for this thread, that I reregistered....

The one and only time I have been called for jury duty was the same week that I was primary witness in a felony case.

Yes, the case I was to testify in was the same trial that were drawing from the jury pool that I had been called to join.

The clerk had never seen it happened before and really did believe me when I said I would not be able to be an objective, neutral jury member. She said she'd heard the excuse millions of times, and for once she believed it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
