First part: What is the probability that at least two of N randomly selected people have the same birthday? (Same month and day, but not necessarily the same year.)
Second part: How large must N be so that the probability is greater than 50 percent?
Assume these:
-Nobody was born on February 29.
-People's birthdays are equally distributed over the other 365 days of the year.

2/730???? so, 0.027%....????
If the birthdays are evenly distributed, then there is a person for each day of the year?
I can't see how the probability could be over 50% (that is, if I am going about it the right way, which I may very well not be)
Can't wait to see the answer. Can you e-mail it to me?

A determined determination! lol btw: it ought to't be the fort's shadow. because 1000 adult adult males ought to postpone a huge mirror, and, utilising the sunlight, shine it at an attitude in the route of the fort. Voila! The shadow strikes... right here's a better riddle: what's large, complicated, and finished of semen?

I have NO idea but my parents were both born on the same day in December and my grandparents were both born on the same day in June!

about 50% probability
N=100% of the population
Dunno really, just a guess....I do know I want the 10 points though....LOL
