Good work. Remarkably, only 24 people will produce slightly greater than 50/50 odds that there will be a birthday match. Most people will think something like 24/365, or not very likely. An easy explanation: The 24th person has 23 chances of a match, then next person has 22 chances, the next person has 21 chances, etc. 23+22+21+20+19+18, etc. mounts up quickly.
