There is only a 1 in 365 chance that it really is Astronuc's birthday. I'd bet it probably isn't
Additionally, you weren't specific as to whether you were referring to the motivation of the person claiming to have a birthday or referring to the poll respondent's opinion of the person claiming to have a birthday.tribdog said:There is only a 1 in 365 chance that it really is Astronuc's birthday.

:rofl: I'm waiting for someone's head to explode trying to reconcile #2 with the other 3 choices since my response is all of the above. :rofl: (We did slip tribdog some black market GOOBF cards, right?)Evo said:I voted for #2.
The mentor I replaced, zero, kept changing his birthdate in his profile and celebrated 2 dozen birthdays in the same month and people were still wishing him happy birthday. (I swear some people just post mindlessly to birthday threads).
I must have scared him away. He just up and disappeared right around when I discovered GD, or shortly before, so I never really knew him or his posts, other than some older posts still lingering when I arrived. He must have met a woman and got a life. That's another reason we need a PF Matchmaking Service...we can't afford to have valuable members start having a life with people who don't respect the need to visit PF daily.Anyone know what happened to zero?

I decided you must mean the motivation of the person claiming to have a birthday - it would be kind of embarrassing for Astronuc if I said it was a desperate plea for attention.
Heh, all of the above, love it. :rofl:Moonbear said::rofl: I'm waiting for someone's head to explode trying to reconcile #2 with the other 3 choices since my response is all of the above. :rofl: (We did slip tribdog some black market GOOBF cards, right?)
He had just moved to Florida for a great new job he'd gotten, went on a diet, started working out, looked great and got a girlfriend, then *poof* he was gone. :grumpy:I must have scared him away.

I see that you are keeping Moonbear and Evo busy. I wish you had asked firsttribdog said:There is only a 1 in 365 chance that it really is Astronuc's birthday. I'd bet it probably isn't
"Astronuc's Birthday Odds: 1 in 365" is a mathematical concept that calculates the likelihood of two people sharing the same birthday in a group of 365 individuals.
The calculation is based on the probability theory and assumes that all birthdays are equally likely to occur. It takes into consideration the number of people in the group and the number of possible combinations of birthdays.
This concept is often used to demonstrate the counterintuitive nature of probability. It shows that in a group of seemingly unrelated individuals, the chances of two people sharing the same birthday are surprisingly high.
Yes, this concept has been used in various fields such as statistics, social sciences, and cryptography. It can also be used in decision-making processes that involve probability and risk assessment.
Yes, the odds can be improved by increasing the number of people in the group. As the number of people increases, the chances of two people sharing the same birthday also increase.
