Ahh, I get what you're saying now!

When I asked my question, I meant it as "What are the chances that three people born on the same day play Cantr?" - It's the other way around.

As in: There are 6,000,000,000 people. The chances that there are three people that share the same birthday are 100%. But what are the chances of those three people playing Cantr?

That's what I meant :P

Hmmmm. Your question is a different one now, but I believe the answer is more or less the same...

No matter how many people are out there, as long as 695 of them play Cantr, the probability for three of them being born on the same day is 86%. :)

Assuming that there are 695 pairwise different Cantr players, and assuming that there are 366 possible birthdays, the chance for three players being born on the same day is Image (actually, if c is the chance we are talking about, the given term describes 1/c).

Using the above formula in my windows calculator, then applying 1/x to it results in a chance of approximately 86 percent for the event that 3 Cantr players are born on the same day.

The formula is clear enough to play around with other numbers for the number of players or for the number of possible birthdates respectively.


Assumptions have been described above. An additional assumption is, that the calculator works correctly. I have not spent any thought on how to get the most accurate result from a calculation with such huge numbers involved.


He's trying to kill us with that math stuff again.....

I'd be willing to bet there's no one with MY birthday, since it occurred in the year 1958!
