I realised that the World Cup is a brilliant, brilliant example because the squads for the World Cup are each made of 23 players.
So you have 32 examples to test this out.
We should expect 50.7% of them.
But when you look at the figures, which I did, you will find that there are 19...
out of the 32 teams, have shared birthdays, including five of the team have two shared birthdays.
So four players share birthdays.
And this is about 60%.
Sorry, ref.
My bad.
The revised figures are 16 teams at the World Cup have shared birthdays.
And this is actually really rather good because it's mathematically what you would expect.
So actually, it's all turned out rather well.
The battle is on.
The Republican National Convention has nominated Governor Alfred Mossman Landon, the Kansas Coolidge, as its candidate for president.
The Republicans think Alf Landon is the man who will win in November.
He is our next president if he can beat Roosevelt.
My bad.
The revised figures are 16 teams at the World Cup have shared birthdays.
Rio de Janeiro, 1925, and Brazil is on the up.
Workers are building the city's landmark Christ the Redeemer statue, samba and new music is becoming a national craze, and the country's main newspaper, Anoich, introduces a new star writer with a story on the front page.
