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!

paradox of freedom

The effect where the more children are prohibited from doing things, the more curious and rebellious they will become. Conversely, when they're given complete trust, they will learn to take responsibility.
The paradox of freedom is evident when my parents tried to restrict my late-night outings; the more they said no, the more I wanted to sneak out and rebel!
