The Most Unfortunate Thing To Happen Ever ?, by sm on Jan 11, 2008 20:42:46 GMT 1, this is not the first time this has happened. I remember seeing an Oprah or some sh*t a few years back on the same thing.
I just like to point out that I don't watch Oprah on a regular basis, but hey, if your home sick why not!

The Most Unfortunate Thing To Happen Ever ?, by Octopus UK on Jan 11, 2008 21:54:22 GMT 1, Wow. Now that is f**king mad! I can't even imagine the probability of the likelyhood of this occurring! Anyone on here an avid mathlete?!
I could probably do the maths. It's a bit like the Birthday Problem, all you need is 23 people in the same room to have a better than 50% chance that at least two people share the same birthday.
www.mste.uiuc.edu/reese/birthday/intro.html
Imagine the marrage of two twins as being the event (same birthday) and the probability is the "marrage" rate (like the 1/365 in the Birthday Problem). In essence, the more people you have the greater the number of pairings:
2 people : 1 pairing
3 people : 3 pairings
4 people : 6 pairings
5 people : 9 pairings
6 people : 15 pairings

That cant be right...... even with 24 people and even distribution thats only 2 birthdays per month- at that point its still a 1 in 30, about. Person 1 of the 2 Bday is what it is, and person 2 is a 1 in 28 to 31 chance that it is the same day. (I think  )

Realized my problem in thinking. In doing this with 23 people you're greatly reducing the 1 in 30 chance (again, I think). That is weird......
