Probability - How does it work?!

BTW, and of course completely needless to say, the word for the singular of the multi-sided object used to generate random sequences is a 'die'. 'Dice' is the plural.

but hey don't let that stop you

The birthday paradox is very interesting.

The chances of two random people sharing the same birthday are not the same as two people out of a pool of five sharing the same birthday. It's a bit of a head fuck at first but once you get your head around it, it makes sense.

paradox is a massive misnoma in this case though! can't say i appreciate the headfuck aspect either tbh. clearly the former is 1/365 ignoring leap years, but the bigger the population in the latter case the more likely two people will share a birthday. i think even a mathematical shitwit would recognise that among 300 random people it is highly unlikely they all have different bdays
