Ed Pellow BS: Mathematical Probability Query (103* d) RE: BS: Mathematical Probability Query 10 Oct 00

I love this problem, and the fact that with 55+ people, it's nigh on certain that at least 2 people will share the same birthday.

Does anyone know any other probability problems which initially seem counter intuitive?
