| Mar 9, 2011 at 16:32 | comment | added | user940 | @Fdart17: In Exercise 13.7 of The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class, J. Michael Steele uses Schur convexity to show that uniform probabilities are least likely to give birthday matches. So you are right, non-uniform birthdays give us a better chance of a match. | |
