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
