Who'd like to help me with an experiment regarding birthdays?

(220 Posts)

Apparently there us a magic number.

If you gather more than XX people's bithdats, then there is a greater than 50% chance that 2 will have the samee birthday.

Who's willing to post their birthday to see if this works in practice?

No one shares mine yet, 30 Jan.
I have never met anyone with the same birthday as me but I once replaced someone in a job who had my birthday apparently.

Haven't seen mine yet - 21 January. Never met anyone else with my birthday either, but DH's best friend was born the day after me.

I havent seen mine. Oct 21 and they keep threatening to make it a public holiday, something I would be very glad of. Share a bday with my very long departed gran. I was her first grandchild so was a special birthday present for her smile

Getout - dd, my uncle and dh's best friend all share your bday. My cousin and i went into labour on the 23rd, dd was born at 1 am on the 24th, cousin's baby was born on the 26th.

Dbro and dsil share the same bday, even same year, but they were born on different continents.

Mine is Oct 30.

25 December

I think the thread "winner" should be the person who takes the last available date.

What post number will that be expected to be ?
And what are the chances it will be 29 Feb ?

EchoBitch Thu 28-Feb-13 00:41:54

22 December.

27 October
Please send flowers/chocolate/gin to the usual address grin

Chaos for your experiment does it help that I went the first 28 years of my life without meeting anyone with my birthday.
Then in 1.5 years met 4...
Sat next to a girl at work who shared it, then my colleague's DTs were born then and another colleague had that day too.....

CobOnTheCorn Wed 27-Feb-13 20:14:18

Scarlet - 31 May here too.

redspottydress Wed 27-Feb-13 20:11:57

At my wedding there were four of us with my birthday, my dh nanna and aunt with the same birthday and a niece and nephew with the same birthday. There may have been more, only 100 guests in total.

28th November, I was 2 weeks overdue so was induced. Meant to be born on my DM's birthday, 14th November (same as Prince Charles)- EXACTLY 9 MONTHS FROM VALENTINES DAY shock @ having a rough idea when Liz DTD grin

On the plus side, I share my birthday with William Blake and Mark from Big Fun
