We still might be the only ones in the origins conversation that shares a birthday with anyone else.

Actually if you pick any 23 people at random there’s a greater than 50% chance two of them share the same birthday. If you pick 75 people at random there’s a 99.9% chance at least two share a birthday. I can explain the math if you like. :slightly_smiling_face:
