Birthdays

I was watching some programme on BBC1 tonight, and they asked "how many people do you think you would need to ask, before you found 2 people with the same birthday?"

Having always been extremely annoyed that the one 'famous' person (or only other person I know of) who shares my birthday is Mariah bleeding Carey, I thought the answer was likely to be 100's, but apparently, it's only 35!

A reporter conducted an experiment to prove this theory. Firstly he asked a female passerby what she thought, and she went along the lines of 100's. He then bet her £20 that it would be less than 35! She agreed, and they proceeded to stop other people and mark off their birthdays on a calender. As this was going on, I thought "Grrrr Mariah Carey. Grrr!"

By the time they were up to about 25 passers by, the woman was feeling very confident that she was going to be £20 better off! A few people more, and they got a direct match!

And guess what the birthday was??? 27th March. Which is my one!

So ner to Mariah!
