Five Members Of One Family Share Same Birth Date

If my math is right, I came up with a 2% chance that that would happen in the US and 31% it would happen in the world.

My numbers are a bit iffy since I assumed everyone was alive and that births are equally likely across all the days, but the change is minor.

BTW, with only 4 birthdays on the same day there’s a 99.8% chance of happening at least once in the US, and likely 10 such families.

Again, assuming my math is right.

I used to think it was special my cousins all seemed to be born around the same week until i realized it was 9 months after St Valentine’s Day.

The first two weeks of October are apparently very popular for birthdays worldwide. I hear this is a result of New Year’s Eve being a relatively universal holiday. I could be wrong.

March, though. That’s definitely something. Even if you intentionally get pregnant around a certain time, people are not born exactly 9 months after conception. There’s a lot of variation.

Also, although our birthdays are not on the same day, my aunt and I share a birthday close enough that for many times my family tried to roll our birthdays into one party. Kids… well, they’re kids, and I was no exception.

Its not 5 generations BM

So you’re saying each generation was only 17.5 years? Lovely.. I guess not quite like rats, but close.

B.M., you should divide by three, since the baby was just born this week. The great-grandma is seventy.

I call technicality.

They can’t share the same birth DATE unless they were all born on the same day in the same year.

They share the same birth DAY.

This is a crazy coincidence! I have a bunch of family members born in February, but none of us share the same date. We’re scattered all over the month.

B.M.- not only is your math wrong, but having children early doesn’t equal having a lot of children. My aunt was married at 15, had two children before she turned 20… and that was it. She was done. Both of her kids reproduced young as well – one of them had only one child, and the other had only two.

What a way to save on birthday parties!

MY WEDDING DAY WAS 5TH SEPTEMBER,1982. MY SON’S BIRTDAY WAS ON 5TH SEPTEMBER 1983. NOW MY SON’S WEDDING DAY 5TH SEPTEMBER. VERY RARE OCCURENCE……………………….

Hello,
I share the same birthdate, as my
dad. I am rather taken aback by
the number of those in the above
how fascinating — I heard that Y.
Ono – had Sean (sp) the son she had
with John Lennon- but it wasn’t an
all natural childbirth, it was a
cesaerian, because of some legend
about the situation–has anyone
heard of this, I’m itching to know-
no pranksters please!

Hi,
