FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

In honor of the birthdays, a second -and last- quiz for the day. Say there are 30 men and women in a penalty box. What's the probability that at least two of them share the same birthday (ignoring leap year day)?

Now I *really, really* have to do some work. Answer in an hour.

About 70%

Glad I decided to reconcile my SPG account this afternoon. I'm missing almost 2,000 points. Apparently the Sheraton Baton Rouge is incapable of getting the Platinum Arrival Bonus to post, and they also haven't been crediting me properly for incidentals charged to the room, like Internet access. :mad:

I have a friend who wants to send one the other way.

After receiving email from DL suggesting he do so, he checked in for a flight tomorrow. A short while later he discovered he needed to catch a later flight. DL wouldn't let him change his ticket since he'd already checked in. They made him purchase another and canceled the first. I believe he's a DL Plat. I have no idea what number he called. He is PISSED.

Interesting, just got my MP email statement from UA.com. They seem to must really like CO because they claim we are the worlds 4th largest airline.

The job fairy hit me so hard, I barely have time for FT. I haven't checked in here in over a week. As I said before, I am in a temporary full time gig. I had an interview for the permanent position today. My fingers are crossed. The timeline for hiring is 2-3 weeks. Hopefully sooner. I hope the job fairy hit Mackieman and others who need her. At least the rain fairy has hit southeast Texas lately - which is a good thing.

Happy birthday to rolov and colpuck, and anyone else's birthday I missed or is coming up.
