  3. The birthday paradox is sometimes known as the birthday problem.
    It states in that in a random gathering of 23 people, there's a 50% chance that two people will have the same birthday

    1. A window cleaner is on the 78th floor of a skyscraper. He is cleaning the windows when he accidentally slips and fall. He had no safety equipment and there was nothing soft to land on other than the hard floor. Yet, he survived without much injury. How?
