Here's a good trivia question. Which date has the fewest births each year?

Posted by David (aka David) Dec 9 '19, 17:19

There's a PFM-ish follow-up stat to this one.

Responses:

Sidenote: 9 of the 10 most popular birth dates are in September and thereby fall in line with the gestation period from the 12 Days of Christmas. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:46 5
- yup, that's great -- nm - prayformojo Dec 9, 17:59
- Orthodox or Schismatic? -- nm - Berylorian Dec 9, 17:47 3
  - Don't be weird. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:49 2
    - Need I remind you that you're the one talking about gestation periods and songs? My point was just that the Orthox church is on the Julian calendar. 😀 - Berylorian Dec 9, 17:55 1
      - Christmas should be in late September anyway. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:56
July 3rd -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 17:41 1
- 121st -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:45
December 26th -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 17:38 9
- 361st -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:38 8
  - December 25th. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 17:40 7
    - Yes, it's 366th. On most days, 10,000 people are born in the United States. On Christmas, the average is 6,574. People do NOT want... - David Dec 9, 17:45 4
      - also part of my thinking would be "days doctors don't want to work". -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 17:51 3
        
        "days doctors won't schedule cesareans" -- nm - Berylorian Dec 9, 17:52 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - mud Dec 9, 17:56
        
        That's why I thought the July 4th guess would lead to the answer. - David Dec 9, 17:52
    - Jesus Christ -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 17:41 1
      - "That's my birthday, don't wear it out." -- nm - Berylorian Dec 9, 17:43
March 1st -- nm - Berylorian Dec 9, 17:37 1
- 174th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:38
January 15th? -- nm - znufrii, human scum Dec 9, 17:37 1
- 346th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:38
July 4th -- nm - budice Dec 9, 17:36 1
- 363rd. Y'all should be able to make the logical deduction from here. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:38
March 17th -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 17:36 1
- 169th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:37
July 2nd -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 17:34 1
- 30th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:37
August 13th -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 17:33 1
- 98th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:34
Dec 24. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 17:29 1
- 364th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:29
Jan 2 (everyone wants the New Year's Baby) -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 17:24 1
- That's good logic, but it's 362nd. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:24
Oct. 31st? -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 17:23 1
- 357th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:24
Feb 28 -- nm - budice Dec 9, 17:22 1
- 198th -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:23
Dec. 31st? -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 17:21 14
- 350th, so it's the best guess so far. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:22 13
  - Jan 1st? -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 17:23 12
    - No, but it *is* 365th. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:23 11
      - My moms and my daughters b-day. -- nm - zunkskunk Dec 9, 17:54 6
        
        That's legitimately mathematically improbable. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:54 5
        
        But fact! My daughter was 2 1/2 weeks early. - zunkskunk Dec 9, 18:00 3
        
        Wait, I just figured out what you mean... -- nm - zunkskunk Dec 9, 18:03
        
        That's incredible! How many 2000 babies were born before her at the hospital? - David Dec 9, 18:02 1
        
        She was the first. Made the front page of the local newspaper, too! -- nm - zunkskunk Dec 9, 18:04
        
        7,792 births on average with an estimated conception date of 4/10. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:55
      - How many days are in your year if 365 isn’t it nor is February 29th -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 17:44 1
        
        ... -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:51
      - Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 17:25 1
        
        Right? So close. -- nm - Berylorian Dec 9, 17:37
Labor Day? -- nm - Max Dec 9, 17:20 1
- No. Even though the date moves, it trends toward the top half of birthdays. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:22
February 29th -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 17:19 1
- So, that's not the answer, but it's a good guess that will factor into the trivia note at the end. -- nm - David Dec 9, 17:21
