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!

THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW PARADOX

Does not exist as "WILLIAM HENRY GATES III clearly spent enough time and research with composing this law and wrote into it plainly all aspects given his VAST AWARENESS running the BILL MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION.
If you want to find a reason to break THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW by using the excuse as the PEDOPHILE already entered our property as the THE "ONE PEDOPHILE" LAW PARADOX says SINGULAR = PLURAL at all times when any EYES COLORED PEDOPHILE walks into your PROPERTY or ESTABLISHMENT and you are "commanded to make THE ONE feel comfortable but "THE PEDOPHILE " had to follow what they are required to do while there and it is not epic splendor .

Sincerely Me Paradox

A phenomenon in where one song on an album feels out of place due to it not matching any other song on the album, comparable to the track Sincerely Me from the Dear Evan Hansen movie, which is an odd Black Comedy song on an otherwise mostly sincere and heartfelt soundtrack.

The 2 Day Paradox

When something shitty happens literally 2 days after something great happens. This can encompass anything really, and it’s strange how it happens so much.
Bruh, I had a great day with my gf on the 26th, but then she dumped me on the 28th because the entire relationship was the result of a fucking bet from her friends. The 2 Day Paradox is in effect huh?
