Adding one more person adds more than one comparison. Assuming birthdays are evenly distributed (they aren’t), 2 people have a 1/365.25 chance of sharing a birthday. But adding a third person adds 2 more chances. Adding that 23rd person adds 22 more chances than adding the 22nd person. 1+2+3…+22=253 separate checks, of which only one needs to match.
If a person with a micropenis is in a room, how many men are needed in that room to have a 50% chance of someone else in there also with a micropenis? And how many women in that room are needed for a 50% chance a woman has a bigger clitoris than that person’s micropenis?
Or:
How many men in a room are needed to have a 50% chance someone else has the same penis size?

So does this apply to the problem: 0.6% of people have micropenis. How many friends do you need to have before you’ll know someone?
It doesn’t seem to, because there isn’t any element of comparing them between each other. It’s just a straight percentage chance.
Maybe is you ask the question like this:
If a person with a micropenis is in a room, how many men are needed in that room to have a 50% chance of someone else in there also with a micropenis? And how many women in that room are needed for a 50% chance a woman has a bigger clitoris than that person’s micropenis?

Yeah that would turn it into more of a birthday problem.
It would also make it downright weird.
So you mean a room full of men talking about their size, or a full scale measuring contest?
Both would be fucking weird though xD
No I was making a joke and everyone decided they were gonna do a full autism about it
Ok boomer, maybe it’s time for a little nap. What’s wrong with my autism?
