    I'm going to say that it needs to be half the value of one year + one day, so half of 366 but I'm going to scrap up a python script to text my idea later
    183

    I knew it was a low number because you have to add the probabilities of everyone matching with everyone else and that gets rather large rather fast.

    Awkward.

    I saw this question and knew it was 23 as my math teacher actually told us this 2 weeks ago haha.

    Atleast I was able to crack this math question, doubt I'll manage any of the others.

    Same. I knew it couldn't have been one of those simple questions, and there was something behind it. I cba to do the math so I just read through and found the answer. You need to lose common sense for this, or you'll end up with 183.
