Hi Everybody..
Don't know if everybody has already heard about the "Birthday Paradox".. It is a math paradox which demonstrates that the odds of birthday matches happening inside a room with some people are much bigger than what our intuition expect (for example, it says that in a room with 23 people that odds are over 50%).
I wanted to check it out, and thought that an web experiment about this "paradox" would be fun.. So I created a little experiment called "The Birthday Paradox House", where people "joins" a house" which has four rooms, and whenever a match happens their names are listed on the stats panel (ajax powered) and the room is emptied to restart the experiment.
So, ahm, I invite everybody to participate.. The more people who joins, the funnier (and more precise) the experiment will be!
Comments are welcome!
