Maybe we can get some cold, half-cooked cake onto the concessions menu to scarf down with our gray hot dogs and bourbon I mean coke products.

I'd just like a beer. Just one when I visit DV, LJC and DKS. One would probably be all I could afford.

(Ignoring leap years)

80000/365 = 219.2

Why would you doubt it?

birthdays are relatively even statistically

There are some dates with slight deviations more or less (like fewer on Christmas Day and slightly more in September).

But more or less it should be around that number

Not really. There is a statistically significant difference in September birthdays vs several other months. Holiday celebration = September labor.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The most common birth date is September 9th.

Which makes 9 months prior the middle of December, but if you include premature births it would move it closer to Christmas day.

The top 10 birth dates are all in September.

Conclusion: If a country needs to increase its birth rate, just declare a National Holiday week.

Statistics...

...If you are in a group of 22 people the probability is slightly higher than 50% that two people in the group will have the same birthday. It the group has 50 people in it the probability is higher than 95%.

(I used to have a lot of fun with non-monetary bets with my students when I was in college.)

You mind explaining this one ?

You’re saying there’s a 95% chance that 2 people out of every fifty will have the exact same birthday ?
So if I line up fifty people and ask each person his birthday, 95 times out of a hundred one of the other 49 will have a match ?

Yep.
Google it. Birthday Paradox.

There is 364/365 chance your birthday is not the same as mine. Add a person, there is a 363/365 chance their birthday is neither of ours. Next person, 362/365. Etc etc.

And for me and 219 others, we have our birthday on the SC game***

I guess that's why they started selling $6(?) cookies in the stadium.
