23.It’s the birthday thing, if there’s 17 people in a room there’s a 50:50 chance two of them share a birthday. Or a number close to that.

I think you've done a stellar job organising!! Hats off!! So technically my birthday today, who am I sharing it with in hereIt’s the birthday thing, if there’s 17 people in a room there’s a 50:50 chance two of them share a birthday. Or a number close to that.
We all have two birthdays in this room, and it’s Christmas, and the present is beer! Win, win, win![]()
The odds of that are way low, but you can read AG’s wiki link for an explanation why.I think you've done a stellar job organising!! Hats off!! So technically my birthday today, who am I sharing it with in here![]()

Well what's the chances of that, with us both being on the same forum and all?Looks like you’ve received the exact same 3 beers as me![]()
MmmI bet its quite possible that could happen!
Only the belief that a fat guy in a red suit is coming through my heatpump as we don't have a chimney could kill Christmas, if we celebrated it as we are BuddhistsI’m hoping it’s a quirk of the maths and I haven’t killed Christmas for the forum!
I was going to last night but I was in a lager mood, so had a bottle of Spaten I bought in Sainsburys yesterday and a couple of my own NZ Pils instead.Has anyone started drinking then yet. Be honest because I am tempted![]()
