No f**king way! Maybe we're blood brothers?

I seen an interview with Dave Groll and someone asked him if he would do a private booking. He looked amazed, then the interviewer said Elton John had done one in arabia for £1 million. Dave just said he was a doosh, and wouldn't sell himself for any money, fair play to him. So count The Foo Fighters out.

and yes its a serious question and a lot fo money involved i know but i have been asked by someone

Wow! What an amazing coincidence! Out of the 93,000+ members on this site one of the 255 who on average would share your birthday visited the same thread!

Here is a statistic that might blow your mind (that I worked out while failing my maths degree!):

You only need to have 23 people in one room for there to be more than a 50% chance that 2 people share the same birthday. Fact that!

Hows that possible?

[Jackmypie]

[Abbathehorse]

Ok, give me 15 mins to find the best way to explain it!! Watch this space!

EDIT - Ok Jackmypie, I have sent you a rather complex private message (hopefully) explaining how it works! Good job I have a lot of time on my hands!!!

Oh and for the record, I think I was wrong and you only need 22 people for there to be over a 50% chance 2 of them share the same birthday!

[Abbathehorse]

More than 22, or 23 or more.

Nice one Jameshunt. I wish I had just looked on Wikipedia rather than doing all the calculations... which I now think are slightly wrong anyway!
