My initial guess was about 24. As a classroom teacher, I notice it is common for a shared birthday to occur about every other year or so. Having just looked at my roster today, and specifically the birthdays, I did notice a shared birthday this year. So I based my guess on experience rather than statistics!

I just think the other factor why our basic intuition can't grasp the math is because our brain have small room to imagine the pairs. I mean, when this question come up, people tend to imagine about to pair their own birthday with just small group people, abandoning that each of one in 23 is pairing with others. So, this makes first dial signal into our brain that "it is hard to find match YOUR birthday with only 22 people". Then we end up realize that "Oh yeah this question supposed to pairs each people, not only one"

The probability of a match A MATCH So many good jokes

In my first psychology class in college, the professor used this as a way to show that people’s intuition and "common sense" is often wrong. While it’s really a mathematical puzzle, the fact that most people are wrong about this gives us insight into psychology. The class had about 150 students in it. The professor had each of us guess how many people he’d have to call on to find two who had the same birthday. We all wrote down our answers, then he had us sit in sections of the lecture hall based on the number we’d chosen. Most people selected a number greater than 150, reasoning that you’d have to go through birthdates for half the year before you were likely to find a match. He then started asking each student what their birthdate was. He’d write the date on the chalkboard. We reached the first match at like the 12th person he called on. He said that we’d throw that result out since it was just coincidental that we’d found a match so quickly. He kept going. The next match happened on about person number 21. He kept going, wanting to show us where we’d reach a point where almost every new birthdate was a match. We got there by person number 60-something. By the time we were into the 70s, pretty much every new birthdate matched someone else’s. He explained the mathematics behind it, yet there were still people in the class that said it was impossible to have so many matches in a group that small. He asked them to explain why it worked, though, since we’d all seen it with our own eyes. They said it just defied common sense. The professor said that this is why "book smarts" almost always trumps "common sense." Most people simply can’t comprehend that.

It's not slang, it's just grammar. Most languages outside of the Germanic language family actually REQUIRE the use of double negation (French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.).

There are 365 days in a typical year. Our scenario works without accounting for leap years, twins etcetera. So we have 23 people in a room right? Our current aim is to calculate the probability of 23 people NOT sharing a birthday. Let's start off with the chances that two people have the same birthday. The first person who we will call Allie can have a birthday any day of the year. So now we account for that particular birthday, we assume that the next person Blair can only have their birthday in all of the remaining days of the year (her birthday is not the same as Allie's.) You know how when you roll a single die, you ask yourself what is the chance that you will have a five followed by a four? Without considering the many variables in our world and only concentrating on pure probability, we multiply the 1/6 by 1/6. It doesn't really matter whether what the following number is four or whatever; it is independent of repetition since it is a single die. The probability of getting this combination is 1/36 now. Same with unbiased coins, probability of getting two heads in a row is the same as a head followed by a tail. This connects to the birthday problem as the probabilities are all multiplied. For Allie and Blair, we would say 365/365 * 364/365 which gives us roughly 0.9972 so the percentage is 99.72%. That is the probability that Blair and Allie DO NOT share the same birthday. Now let us return to the scenario with 23 people in the room. We do the same as we did for Blair and Allie, but just as we reduced the numerator by 1 for Blair, we keep repeating. 365/365 * 364/365 * 363/365... Until we reach 365 - 23 (for the people in the room) which is roughly 342. Then we multiply all of these. After that, we divide that answer by 365 to the power of 23 as you can see that 365 has been multiplied by itself 23 times. We didn't have to do this to Allie and Blair previously as Allie's 365/365 cancelled out and made 1. But that is how we attain the probability of none of the 23 people sharing the same birthday. That is roughly 0.4927 or 49.27%. Now by deducting by 1 or 100, we get 0.5073 or 50.73%. That is the probability that at least two people in this group of 23 share the same birthday! To make this easier, we can use the formula n!/(n - k)! /n ^ k. n represents the number of days in the year here, which is 365. k is the number of people in the group here, which is 23. As explained, 365 is multiplied 23 times so it is divided by 365 to the power of 23. The factorials make it easier rather than the tedious reduction process (it'd be a pain to repeat those fractions 23 times!) as they are after all multiplied by each other in order such as 1 * 2 * 3 could just be written as 3!. Yes, you noticed how different the formula looks from the method we used with the factorial of n on the numerator and the n - k in the denominator but it reflects that process of ours basically. Hope this explanation helped you understand... Feel free to ask any more questions and point out any errors! Now try one of your own, what is the probability that out of a group of 10 friends, at least two share the same classes in a school with 50 different class options? (Made this one on the fly...)

I've asked a few people in my life about this question. I believe the reason they don't come close is not one of intuition, but misunderstanding the question. They seem to "fix" a date in their minds, i.e. their birthday, and ask a different question, "How many would it take to have my birthday?" Great question!

Ya’ll not gonna believe me, but I legit thought “Like... 20 people?” When he asked the question at the beginning. So I’m not even one minute in and I already won. I am the stats king.

funny how during a school exchange i was matched with a person born on the exact same day as me :)

I used to have 2 classmates with the same birthday, and once when we were in a split class, a girl in the other grade had my same birthday. What was ironic was that I was like her, and her best friend was like my best friend! We both also had a friend who'd rather play sports than just hang out and talk. We all became great friends!

Still don't know if I can take this for granted

love this vid

imagine having 2 friends on the same birthday how will you go to both of their birthdays. ;c and yes my friends have the same bday.

just saw this on my birthday. coincidence that I really appreciated :))

thank you you just made be interested in a math problem and that's huge

I share the same birthday with my brother. He’s three years older than me-

In my 5th grade class there were not 1, not 2, but 3 people with the exact same birthday!! (November 7th)

That's amazing because that's so rare! In a class of 30 students, the probability that exactly three of them share a birthday is 1.05%. In a class of 50 students, the probability drops to a mere 0.58%. In a class of 60 students, it drops even further to 0.21%. In a class of 100, the value is just 0.00007%.

@@mikescholer1995 That's a very good question. The answer is no. It's a counter-intuitive problem, that's why it seems the probability should get higher when more people are involved. In reality, the probability decreases because we are dealing with "exactly three people" and not "three people or more". Think of a football stadium. Or is it soccer? Whatever. The stadium has 100,000 people in attendance. What is the probability that JUST THREE PEOPLE have January 1st as their birthday? Which is to say, NONE of the other 99,997 people have Jan 1st as their birthday? Basically 0%. Allow me to be daring and claim, "that can never happen." I hope I have clarified things for you. Remember, we are interested in a scenario of EXACTLY THREE people and not THREE OR MORE.

There was 4 people (including me and my best friend) with the same birthday out of around 200 people. July 27th. My brothers birthday is July 28th so he was almost the fifth

Me and my boyfriend share the same birthday and year, 2 hours apart, and born in different countries. I came to his town as a foreign student. We met in a restaurant where I worked and happily in love since.

I have the same birthday, same day and month as a famous musician in my country, I intially thought that it was a coincidence and was quite shocked about it, while my friends were so surprised that when I answered my birthday, they immediately talked to each other. I didn’t know what they were talking about

Everyone: Talking about the math Me: Getting creeped by the smiling heads on the sticks

In my class of 25 people, we have 2 pairs with the same birthday... Huh

I've only shared a birthday with one classmate in all my schooling; but somehow every year at summer camp I've met at least 1 person, usually two or three, who shared my birthday.

This problem inspired me to make a whole Java program that makes runs these simulations so I don’t have to guess or even do much math really. Using just the law of large numbers and a lot of computing power, I can let the computer do all the work.

KZread's recommendation wants to remind me that it is my birthday today.

There are 3 other kids in my class with the same birthday as me, so when we all have birthday parties no-one goes to mine :(((

Turbo lol, my birthday is when holiday start so no one celebrate my birthday(even say happy birthday) because they go to other place and,have fun with their family. When is your birthday?

Late @t night watching Ted-Ed from two years ago.

i wish all of my science and math videos had animations like this

I said 25 and it’s 23. I didn’t calculate at all. I just guessed. Isn’t intuition about feeling and instinct anyways? Why is this about math?

posted on my birthday! cool! no, it's actually my brother's birthday tomorrow 😂😂😂

Eyy-Its-Me XD i guessed the question very close to the answer which is 24.. because 2 people have the same birthday in my class.. theres 24 people in my class

This video is amazing because it just looks like your playing a game because of the sound effects.

Once in an English class, me and three other people all had the same birthday, down to the year. It was a class of 20 people

So what is the odds that out of the 1022 comments, that 2 of us share a birthday

Anhel Rajikova well it is not 100% for 1 people but 100% for someone in the group you still have only 0.003% that people have the same birthday as you

**waits patiently for that comment that says, “This video was uploaded on my birthday!”**

I have 3 friends in my class with same birthdates, one of them was just 1 year younger than the other two.......these things feel crazy

I remember being in a class with 2 other people who shared my birthday. One of them was a whole year older than me and the other girl. And in our entire grade there was at least 4 of us with the same birthday. It was cool because at the school I had previously moved from, I didn't know anyone who shared my birthday on October 9th.
