Probability states that it takes a group 21 people in order for the probability of having two people with the same b-day to be greater than 50%.

Let's see how many people it takes to find a matching pair..

delete that first line. if you let people know what you're testing for, it skews the results.

(i.e. someone sees 20 names and one of them has the same bday so they don't post just to mess with you)

standardize the format and it will be easier to search to see if there is a match....
