TA birthdays today x 365 is not even close to the total number of members: Theories?
I simply multiplied the number of birthdays today, 41 (if I counted right) times 365 = 14,965. Total number of members is 175,271. These are not even close. In theory, I would think it would be much closer, while not necessarily match exactly. What accounts for the discrepancy?
I am not looking any of this up at the moment but possible theories:
*Mid-April is a slower time for births. (Although, this is a global site and I wonder if the birth data in a place like Australia is the inverse of a place like America or Canada).
*A lot of people put their birthday as January 1 or December 31.
*Today is a statistical anomaly
*Putting your birthday is optional
Idk, seems like the type of puzzle people might find interesting.

Right, I was just being facetious, as Spock credited the phrase to one of his ancestors in that film. Silly Vulcans. First to space and all that.

Even if you exclude those "born" on 1 January?
I like how the figures plummet month after month, as if January babies were like "OMG, trance!!!" and Decembrists were like "This stuff is so old already!"
