How Common is Your Birthday?
How often do you meet someone who has the same birthday as you? Not often, right?
At first glance, you’d probably think the odds were 1 in 365. In actuality, the odds are better or worse depending on the day you were born.
My birthday, October 22nd, is according to the chart, pretty common.
Yet, I can only remember meeting one person who shared “my” birthday. We went to elementary and junior high together. Her name was, and I kid you not, Becky Beavers. She was a sweet kid despite the time we got into a spitting contest in second grade. What were we thinking (definitely not about our shared birthday)?
I’m in the less common ( january 9th). I know 2 people sharing the same birthday.
Interesting that you have a less common birthday, but know two people that have it. Of course you know a lot of people!
Thanks for the comment!
