Using simulations to solve a probability problem and evaluating the solution.

If there are 30 people in a room, there is 70% chance that 2 people in that room share a birthday, weird isn't it ?

Really cool. I love R and its packages.

P. S. Another interesting "puzzle" is Benford's Law...Naturally R has a package for that too...

Nice! I was not aware of the birthday function. That was a nice surprise indeed. I have run some of these birthday problems before using homemade functions but set days at 366 to account for leap years.
Thanks
