... paradox''3
The ``birthday paradox'' is best illustrated by the question, ``How many people do you need in a room to have a 50% or greater chance that two of them have the same birthday?'' The answer is $23$ (assuming that birthdays are uniformly distributed and neglecting leap years). This is easier to understand if you realize that there are $23 \times (22/2) = 253$ different pairs of people in the room.
