Birthday paradox ...

In probability theory, the birthday problem, or birthday paradox,[1] pertains to the probability that in a set of randomly chosen people some pair of them will have the same birthday. In a group of 23 (or more) randomly chosen people, there is more than 50% probability that some pair of them will have the same birthday. For 57 or more people, the probability is more than 99%, tending toward 100% as the pool of people grows

But the paradox f0r me on this day was the birthday of many people including my friend was whether to be or not to be .. Meaning whether to be there or not to be there ..
Also it involved a home - coming so things would have been even more fun ..
But then I decided against being there as the Cosmos would miss me otherwise ..
On a lighter note :
They say that the tradition of birthdays started in Persia and spread throughout the Roman Empire ..
So no doubt that the able guys from Sparta would have been celebrating June 1st as Julius Caesar's bday ... There was no July before he decided so !!!But how about 1st September ..
