Abstract: Our question is ``What is the probability that at least three members of the senate share the same birthday?'' Before the pandemic, I asked this question in several popular math talks I gave at universities across the country. Inspired by ChatGPT's abysmal failure to answer the question, I have recently come back to this problem and now have a more satisfactory answer, thanks in no small part to what I learned form a page of Wolfram's Math World, which I located by a Google search.
