Somehow I have made it through all of my education up to this point without ever taking a statistics class, but that had to come to an end this semester in order for me to get my degree. The funny part is that I am kind of falling in love with it. It is a really fun way of applying logic through mathematics, and it really surprises me sometimes.
Do you know how many people you would need to have in a group before the odds of at least two of them sharing a birthday (not counting the year of birth) is about 50/50?
Seriously, guess first.
23. Isn't that cool?
Well, that satisfied my sudden urge to tell the world how fun probability can be. Aren't blogs great?
P.S. Sorry that we haven't done anything picture-worthy lately, hopefully we will rectify that soon.

Hey Casey and Katalyn! So I guess I've been pretty far out of the loop lately, but I wanted to say congratulations on your (rather long-ago) marriage; it looks like you guys are having a great time! Heather and I are living in NYC now, which is not as friendly as Provo but we're getting used to it (then again, is anywhere as friendly as Provo???) Congrats again and check out our blog at wiggintonfamily.blogspot.com
