What are the chances that two people in the same room will share a birthday? Although it doesn’t seem to make sense mathematically, I read once that in a room of 15 people there was a good chance that two will share the same birthday. Consider my office, there are just over 20 of us. We’ve blown that stat right off the map as four of us were born on the Ides of March.
How about my daughter’s wedding? I’ve been howling now and then that she’s getting married too young. Today I hear from a close friend, and invitee to the wedding, that their daughter, a year younger than ours, is getting married on the same day. I’m sure there is a theory of something that could have predicted these events.
I’m on a search for a picture I saw on a blog. What is the chance the blog belongs to one of you or that you visited and remembered that blog? My middle age mind has a muddled memory. I’m on a hunt for the name of a pattern one of you used for a baby sweater. What made it different was the fact that it was black. It had primary colours as accents, a matching hat, a checkerboard pattern on the sweater and spirals on the hat. Very cute and very practical. Any ideas? Will one of you please come forward and straighten out my brain.
(UPDATE: Thank you, Kathy, for identifying that the pattern was from a particular Paton’s booklet AND for finding it for me on e-bay!)
