Unbelievable fact about Dallas Mavericks point guards

[SharkAA]

Deron Williams, J.J. Barea and Raymond Felton, were all born on 26th June 1984. Pretty sick, I guess

[jtoler]

No way. That's crazy.

What a stat !!

[zizoudane10]

If you have at least 23 people in a room, chance that 2 have birthday the same day is over 50%.

Nonetheless, THAT is funny

Uhh not even close, Einstein.

Uuuuh yep.
You don't understand the math obviously.
Go look it up.

Your original statement would apply if there were only about 2 days in every month. Lemme guess you're French.

But as Fidel alluded to, that 50% chance is that someone has the same birthday regardless of the year. Different than situation in Dallas.

Nope. You don't understand it. If you have at least 23 people in a room, chance that 2 of them have birthday the same day is over 50%. Not year. Day and month. Nothing to misunderstand there. Give it up.
And no, not French. Not that that would have anything to do with your lack of mathematic understanding anyway.

Absolutely. That is why I wrote THAT in capital letters.

Semantics, you know what the thread is about.
