Somebody here will be able to give a mathematical answer.

The Verizon representative I just spoke to informed me it’s her birthday and it’s my birthday too. (Isn’t there a song?)

Actually, the odds are that if you're in a room with 25 other people, you'll find two with the same birthday

@daydeeo In that room, you'll have a slightly better than 50% chance that two of the people will share a birthday. No guarantees if the room has less than 367 people (leap day's doncha know).
