IIRC they were both Saturdays, the probability of a wedding day being a
Saturday must be much higher
And I have just noticed Ewans post.
My wife shares a birthday with her brother, seven years apart. Chances
of that, not very high apparently, seems to be the same as the two
people sharing a birthday in the same room, but with the added bias of
more children born at certain times of the year.
We have two children, a boy and a girl. My wife was very proud of the
fact that we had achieved this until I pointed out that 50% of couples
with two kids will have one of each. She still does not believe me.
