My wife's brother and I share the same birthday. What are the chances stastically of that happening?
Question:
I lived in the Florida Keys, met my now-wife on the telephone through business dealings when she lived in Calgary Canada. After three months of a developing telephone relationship, I took a Greyhound bus for $100 from Big Pine Key, Florida to Brooks, Alberta to meet her for the first time. Her brother was leery of me, but lightened up when we discovered we shared the same birthday.
I would presume any two random people had a 1:365 chance of sharing the same birthday (maybe that's not right but it sounds right to someone who never took sadistics in college)... BUT....
Is it even POSSIBLE to calculate the stastical probability of this kind of thing happening, calculating in the chance that someone from Calgary would be interested in coming to work for a non-profit in Key West, and the romance developing, and the birthday thing?
I'm ALSO just trying to figure out if it's more likely that this was a random thing, or if it is more likely to have a Larger Intelligence behind it.
Answer:
it's very rare i think. You'll probably have to take 1 divide by the population or something, or find out firstly the probabilty of a person living in that area having that birthday etc etc. But my mathematics isn't good enough but i can tell you it's really rare. You can try getting a Maths expert to help you.

Looking for beach resorts for a romantic vacation?
Question:
I'm looking to go to any of the following Key Largo, Big Pine Keys, Marathon, or Islamorada (By Key West, Florida) for about a week. I'm looking for a place that has cottages and on the beach or very close to the beach. I'm trying to suprise my boyfriend with a romantic, realxing getaway. Any advice on how to make it more romantic and relaxing will be helpful as well. Thanks for the help in advance. I was really looking for a place that has rooms right over the water on stilts. If you know were any of those kinds of resorts are that would b a big help. Thanks again.
Answer:
Do a Yahoo serach for Florida keys Resorts. I'm not aware of anyplace that has rooms on stilts. You may be able to find some rentable houseboats. A few years ago there was, & there may still be, a hotel in the upper keys that had some underwater rooms -- if you like a little claustrophobia with your romance.
