Did you know? (Same birthday probability)

Did you know that in a group of 23 people, having two people with the same birthday (only day and month, and not the year) is more than 50%.

In a group of 60 people or more the probability is greater than 99%.

Not so intuitive huh?

The graph at the end summarizes it.

You learn something new every day :-)
