Wooooo! 13th May - Stevie wonder 38 years apart though...

RANDOM INFO:
So how likely are you to share your birthday with another person in your class?
To take a famous example, consider a class of 23 students. It is more likely than not that somewhere in that class, two students will share a birthday. In a class when this is noticed, most will cry out their amazement, but the mathematicians will nod sagely to each other when they calculate that there was a 50.7% chance of this happening. (If the year group is of the right age such that some may be born on 29th February of a leap year, then we need 24 students to tip it over the balance, but the principle is the same.)

The explanation for this is that there is a large number of pairs of students upon whom the coincidence may fall. For 23 students, there are 231 ways (22×21÷2) of picking two students from the class, which means 231 potential coincidences that may occur. We expect pairs to have the same birthday once in every 365 times, so with 231 pairs it is unsurprising when one of them strikes lucky. This reasoning applies to larger situations as well.
