Aaaahhhh.... Not quite. We need 253 (randomly, independently chosen) people in order to have a 50%+ chance of someone having the same birthday as Wicked up there.
Calculation: 1-(364/365)^253=50.04%; I ignored leap years, and assumed all dates are equally likely... which is not exactly right, but it will have to do.
But the number you bring up is really really awesome, and surprises the hell out of most people:
If you got 23 (random) people in a room, there is a 50% chance that at least one pair of them has the same birthday (day+month).
Reference: see Dakata's link up there.
And that was our cool Math Fact of the day™. Tune in tomorrow for "how to increase your chances of winning the lotto by yourself".
Cheers! :D :D :D

Well, you did feed the troll (me!), but some people will find this cool... maybe. :D

If you wouldn't have mentioned that mistake already, I would have now. ;)
I once worked for a company in London. We had a German team of about 20-24 people. 4 of us (including me) had the same birthday. It almost seems like someone in HR was into astrology. :-p

Happy Birthday! ^^

Happy birthday! One of my ex coworkers was born on the same day and had the same name as me, so I'm sure there is another user on your date.

i've found someone who has the same birthday but don't want to say because (")calling out(") - they might find their way here on their own hehe
one of my closest friends irl has his birthday today - trying to prepare myself for the gratuitous drinking what is planned (because finally 21) xD
hope you have a happy birthday!

Was wondering if anyone else has a birthday today? Maybe the same year?
