Birthday Paradox

Famous quotes containing the words birthday and/or paradox:

“Since mothers are more likely to take children to their activities—the playground, ballet or karate class, birthday parties—they get a chance to see other children in action.... Fathers usually don’t spend as much time with other people’s kids; because of this, they have a narrower view of what constitutes “normal” behavior, and therefore what should or shouldn’t require parental discipline.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)

“When a paradox is widely believed, it is no longer recognized as a paradox.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
