The Birthday Problem

The birthday problem is an interesting mathematical phenomenon/equation. It shows the probability of two or more people sharing the same people in a room full of n amount of people. This equation is actually more interesting than people think! One would assume that there needs to be more than 365 people (or at least i would), but it is far less. In fact, there only needs to be 100 people for there to be a 99.99997 percent of two people sharing the same birthday! This is extremely interesting to me for it is not something i would try to figure out at all before finding out there is an actual equation for it! It is cool that someone actually took alot of time to figure this out.
