Join Ben and Pia as they solve the most amazing birthday mystery ever! Did you know that in a room with just 23 people, there's MORE than a 50% chance that two people share the same birthday? Sounds impossible, right?
Ben discovers this mind-blowing fact at a birthday party and can't believe it! Pia explains why our brains trick us into thinking birthday matches are super rare, when they actually happen ALL THE TIME!
Discover:
• Why 23 people create 253 different birthday-checking pairs!
• How your brain plays tricks on you with the "spotlight effect"
• Fun examples using tiny planets with only 5 birthday days
• The amazing connection between birthdays and friendships!
Did you know? With 70 people in a room, there's a 99.9% chance of birthday twins - that's almost guaranteed!
Think about this: How many kids do you think would need to be in your class before two share the same birthday? The answer might surprise you!
Tell us in the comments - have you ever met someone with your exact birthday? Or maybe you've discovered birthday twins in your class? We'd love to hear your birthday detective stories!
