The chances of me meeting someone with a particular birth date is 1 in 21,900.

That seems to be a number divisable by 2 without any remainders which means it is an even number. Not odd at all as Wongo suggested.

WB, according to your logic it should be……..

There are 71 years between age 10 and 80 and you get 1 extra day every 4 years

Hence 71 X 365.25 = 25932.75

Let’s round it up to 25933. Hmmmm it is pretty odd.

Thanks Scott for pointing out the errors in my calculation. I daresay that makes us even now as I gave you a ride home the other night!

They aren't white pointers, they're bronze whalers

But wouldn't you line up to be eaten by them!
