The riddle is: "23 people four".
That's all the information I got. Please help
I'm thinking it could be a reference, but I'm not sure.
@cicerone imposter,
What about the "four" part?
@cicerone imposter,
Here's a better explanation.

I think 'four' becomes mathematically almost impossible to none. However, it seems there have been studies made within classes to determine how many students enjoyed the same birth date. The probability was pretty high, and usually more than 2.
@cicerone imposter,
Here's another good article about the birthday paradox.

Ah, I see. Thank you guys!
The person who gave the riddle to me said it was wrong. Any other ideas?
