    In probability theory, the birthday problem asks for the probability that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, at least two will share a birthday.

  9. Lazy caterer's sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_caterer's_sequence

    The maximum number of pieces from consecutive cuts are the numbers in the Lazy Caterer's Sequence. When a circle is cut n times to produce the maximum number of pieces, represented as p = f (n), the n th cut must be considered; the number of pieces before the last cut is f (n − 1), while the number of pieces added by the last cut is n.
