In probability theory, the birthday problem, or birthday paradox pertains to the probability that in a set of randomly chosen people some pair of them will have the same birthday. By the pigeonhole principle, the probability reaches 100% when the number of people reaches 366 (ignoring February 29 births). But perhaps counter-intuitively, 99% probability is reached with a mere 57 people, and 50% probability with 23 people. These conclusions must stem from the assumption that each day of the year (except February 29) is equally probable for a birthday.
The mathematics behind this problem led to a well-known cryptographic attack called the birthday attack.
Odds are 1 in 7 Auggie to be born on the same day. In an office of 8 at lest two people will always be born on same day. Now if you all went out and saw a provider on the same day those would be some big odds

I once worked on a team of 8 people, and three of us were born on the same day.
