| Feb 18, 2020 at 1:49 | comment | added | David K | Note that the linked question itself (and the accepted answer) only mention the case where $3$ people share a birthday, but other answers discuss various ways to compute exact or approximate probabilities for $M$ people sharing a birthday for some arbitrary positive integer $M$. | |

| Feb 18, 2020 at 0:53 | comment | added | WaveX | Sometimes approximations / simulations can be a good thing and a time saver. Here is a Math.SE post in the case of $3$ people sharing a birthday out of $30$ people and you can see how complicated the answer gets for it. I would imagine it would be further complicated for your case but perhaps not impossible to use inspiration from that post to construct a solution that would work | |
