I believe it’s something like 26 people to have a 50% chance of two people with the same birthday. I read about it in relation to World Cup Football squads a while back!

1 - chance of all birthdays being different = 1- 1x364/365x363/365 ..........340/365 which is about 50%

Fizz :-)
But you only need 23 people in a room for a greater than 50% chance that two of them will share a birthday. And only ten people (I think) if the birthdays can be a week apart.

en.m.wikipedia.org

(Reading the link: only SEVEN people in a room for a 50% chance of a birthday a week apart!)

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Here's the barebones of the new game:

fetcheveryone.com/hideandseek.php

How it works
The game generates a big three mile square with you at the centre. The square is cut into a grid of 1600 smaller squares.

During any given, unlock as many squares from your grid as possible (C19 permitting) by visiting them during your training. These are the places where you can 'hide'. Before the month is up, you must choose one of these squares as your hiding place.

When the first game kicks off (1st of the month), a lone seeker must start finding people, by visiting the squares. When someone is found, they become a seeker too. The seekers can then collaborate to flush out the hiders, and a growing army of seekers hunt down the final hiders.

The last person to be found will become the seeker for the following month.

IMPORTANT
I am still building the game. Keep following this thread for updates as I make them.
