Wow, really close actually.

It's 70.
You'd think it'd be closer to 365 but nope.

For a 50% chance you only need 23 people.
Ok. Wow! I can’t believe I got that close. But the challenge here is to explain the whys and hows in a way that even I could understand...
 
Well no Yakker if you had 708 people in a room it'd be 100%.
See I’m s**t at analysis and statistics and number thingys, that’s why I employ people to do that stuff for me :p

I don't even really understand it.

Here's a video explaining it:
 
Ok.

How many people do you reckon you need in a room to have a 99.9% chance that two people in the room have the same birthday?
How many for same birthdate and same year ?

You could do what loonerty did and get a math degree or just YouTube "birthday probability"

 
Trying to win the EKA the hard way by ensuring one captain doesn’t vote for him, I respect it
Timely reminder that the guy who counts the votes is also a Royal

It actually makes a lot of sense hey.

How many of your 34 degrees are maths related?

What are the chances that in a group of 34 degrees, two degrees share the same birthday?
 
Too high level for me mate.

Last week I had 7 degrees.

This week I have 34 degrees.

How many degrees will I have at the end of the year?
