Others-First Paradox

In the arrow paradox, Zeno states that for motion to occur, an object must change the position which it occupies. He gives an example of an arrow in flight. He states that in any one (duration-less) instant of time, the arrow is neither moving to where it is, nor to where it is not.15 It cannot move to where it is not, because no time elapses for it to move there; it cannot move to where it is, because it is already there. In other words, at every instant of time there is no motion occurring. If everything is motionless at every instant, and time is entirely composed of instants, then motion is impossible.

Whereas the first two others-first paradoxes divide space, this paradox starts by dividing time—and not into segments, but into points.

Birthday paradox

In probability theory, Birthday paradox is the phenomenon concerning the probability that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, at least two will share the same birthday. The birthday paradox is the counterintuitive fact that only 23 people are needed for that probability to exceed 50%. The birthday paradox is a veridical paradox, i.e. a paradox that produces counter-intuitive results, but is demonstrated to be true nonetheless.

I always thought it was super rare for two people to share a birthday, but the birthday paradox says it only takes 23 people to make it likely!
