Find the least positive integer 'N' so that, in a room containing 'N' people, the odds that two of the people have the same birthday (not the year, just the day) are more than 50%.

[Note: Forget about Leap Year. Assume that a year has 365 days and that people are born randomly throughout the year].

although the mathmatic figure might be 22 , i've read that if you take 40 people at random chances are 2 people will share a birthday
