The largest Japanese population outside Japan is in Sao Paulo.

In Paraguay, unlike other South American countries, the majority of the population speaks fluent Guarani, a native language. Even white Paraguayans speak it and many in the countryside are monolingual. When at war with Bolivia in the 1930s, the outnumbered Paraguayans only communicated by radio in Guarani, knowing most Bolivians didn't speak it.

The sun will rise today in Carnsore Point co Wexford at 7.19 am, but for people in Valentia Island/Portmagee, it will be another 16 minutes until the sun rises at 7.35 am.

It may be obvious to some, but the length of the delay is always a bit wondrous to me.

Not at all. If you add 2+3 together you get 5. Then add 18. You get 23.

Extraordinary.

Lots of coincidences between Kennedy and Lincoln assassination.

Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald.
Both presidents' last names have 7 letters.
Both assassins' full names have 15 letters.
Each assassin committed his crime in the place where he worked.
After shooting Lincoln, Booth ran from a theatre to a warehouse; after shooting Kennedy, Oswald ran from a warehouse to a theatre.
Both assassins died in the same month as their victim in a state adjacent to the state of their birth.

See Wikipedia for full article. Lots of other coincidences, but some are not 100% and others stretch the word coincidence'.

And to add to that.

A week before he was assassinated, Lincoln was in Monroe, Alabama.
A week before he was assassinated, Kennedy was in Monroe, Marilyn.

Sorry, couldn't resist

You want to think for another four seconds I think, more babies are born in September and November than other months (due to New Years and Valentine's), there isn't a 1/365 chance of being born on any particular day. So the statistics check out.

That has nothing to do with it whatsoever. It's a probability result theta seems improbable and counterintuitive.
In a group of 23 people it is likely that 2 will share a birthday of 50%.
What must be considered when we look at a group of people is not the individuals but the pairings of these people. There are 253 pairs in a group of 23 people.
The maths on it are readily available if you Google 'Birthday problem'. The probability for 23 people is 50.73%.

I've read it before and forgotten most of it, never seen it broken down like that though.

I'll remember it like that next time, cheers!

Burt Reynolds once dumped a helicopter load of shít on the National Enquirer's Christmas tree.

The tree was outside their HQ and it was reported to be the biggest Christmas tree in the USA. Burt didn't think that such a rag of a 'newspaper' should have that accolade, since they had been writing shít about him for years.

So on Christmas Eve he got his pilot to load up his private helicopter with a load of horse manure from his ranch and dumped it on the tree. :pac:

I wont expect you to understand but here is the math


With 23 people we have 253 pairs:

23*22 / 2 = 253

The chance of 2 people having different birthdays is:

1 - (1 \ 365) = 364\365= .997260
When comparing one person's birthday to another, in 364 out of 365 scenarios they won't match. Fine.

But making 253 comparisons and having them all be different is like getting heads 253 times in a row -- you had to dodge "tails" each time. use exponents to find the probability:

(364/365) to the power of 253 = .4995 Roughly 50%

Today at lunchtime I looked at the digital clock in the kitchen, and it said 1:11, then just seconds later the chap on the local radio shortly afterwards mentioned noticing this and that it was spooky to notice such a thing.

For various reasons, people ascribe different kinds of significance to dates and numbers; “2011-11-11", showed an sharp increase in the number of marriages taking place in different areas throughout the world.

The Armistice that ended the fighting in western Europe of the First World War took effect at 11 a.m. Paris time on November 11, 1918, "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month". There are plenty of other occurrences e.g.

1) New York is 11th state.
2) New York City has 11 letters
3) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
5) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight no 11.
6) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
7) Flight 77 which also hit, was carrying 65 passengers. Add this 6+5 = 11
8) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known, 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
9) The total number of victims inside all the planes were 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
10) The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.
(again 2 + 5 + 4 + = 11). Leaving 111 days left in the year.
11) The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds up to 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11, this also occured 911 days after the Twin Towers.

SHA-1 gives checksums that indicate that a file or cert hasn't been tampered with, but the birthday paradox can apply to crypto too.

It took just 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 calculations to produce two PDF files with the same hash. :eek:



It took 110 years of GPU time.
Or one hour if you have a million GPU's. Typically once these hashes are broken others see new ways to speed up the algorithms. A 100 fold speed up in the future would not be totally unexpected. If that happens then those 110 years become one hour on 9,636 GPUs, well within the reach of a botnet or renting time on the cloud.

Code talkers are people in the 20th century who used obscure languages as a means of secret communication during wartime. The term is now usually associated with the United States soldiers during the world wars who used their knowledge of Native American languages as a basis to transmit coded messages. In particular, there were approximately 400–500 Native Americans in the United States Marine Corps whose primary job was the transmission of secret tactical messages.

Other languages used over the years have been Welsh, Basque and Nubian. The language is used as the base of the code, but there are other codes used within it, so that if by chance another native speaker came across a transmission, they wouldn't be able to break the code.

Navajo was the best known of these and was used throughout WW2 and up to Korea and Vietnam. Nobody ever managed to crack the code. The victory at Iwo Jima was largely credited to the Navajo who transmitted messages.


Joe Kieyoomia was a Navajo soldier who was captured by the Japanese in 1942. They initially took him to be of Japanese descent and he was tortured by them for being a traitor. When they accepted he was Navajo they then tortured him for months in concentration camps to get him to break the code, however, he had never been trained in the code so didn't know how to break it.

He survived the Bataan Death March, where over 20,000 of 80,000 men died, also the infamous Japanese "Hell Ships". Towards the end of the war he was taken to the Japanese mainland to work as a forced labourer and was in Nagasaki on August 9th when the atomic bomb was dropped. He survived due to the prison cells being made out of concrete, which was unusual in Japan at the time. He died in 1997, aged 77.
