6. No, that's quite wrong

Edited on Fri Apr-29-05 01:01 PM by Rabrrrrrr

23 does not ENSURE that two people will share the same birthday. To ENSURE it would take 367 people.

I believe 23 is the number at which there is a 50% chance that any two people of the group will share a birthday.

Certainly, at the number 23, you are not automatically going to get 3 people with the same birthday.
