Birthday Line
At a movie theater, the manager announces that they will give a free
ticket to the first person in line whose birthday is the same as someone
who has already bought a ticket. You have the option of getting in line
at any time. Assuming that you don't know anyone else's birthday, that
birthdays are distributed randomly throughout the year, etc., what
position in line gives you the greatest chance of being the first
duplicate birthday?
