so, technically speaking, in a room of 23, if i'm in there, that means there is a 50/50 chance someone else has my bday. so, if you stick me in a room of 529, and no one has my bday, there should be a room of 23 full of people born on feb 12th?

No, there's a 50/50 chance that two people in the room have the same birthday. But the odds of someone having the same birthday as you are 23/355
