Puzzle on Line and Angle - What are the chances that at least two out of a group of fifty people

Question:  What are the chances that at least two out of a group of fifty people share the same birthday?

Answer:
The probability of at least two out of a group of 50 people share the same birthday is 97%

Solution:
Probability of at least two share the same birthday = 1 - probability of all 50 have different birthdays

Probability of all 50 have different birthday
= 365/365 * 364/365 * 363/365 * ... * 317/365 * 316/365
= (365 * 364 * 363 * 362 * ... * 317 * 316)/36550
= 0.0296264

Probability of at least two share the same birthday
= 1 - 0.0296264
= 0.9703735
= 97% approx.

Thus, the probability of at least two out of a group of 50 people share the same birthday is 97%.

Puzzle on Calender - Yesterday in a party, I asked Mr. Shah his birthday.

Question: Yesterday in a party, I asked Mr. Shah his birthday. With a mischievous glint in his eyes he replied. "The day before yesterday I was 83 years old and next year I will be 86."
Can you figure out what is the Date of Birth of Mr. Shah? Assume that the current year is 2000.

Answer:    Mr. Shah's date of birth is 31 December, 1915

Solution: 

Today is 1 January, 2000. The day before yesterday was 30 December, 1999 and Mr. Shah was 83 on that day. Today i.e. 1 January, 2000 - he is 84. On 31 December 2000, he will be 85 and next year i.e. 31 December, 2001 - he will be 86. Hence, the date of birth is 31 December, 1915. Many people do think of Leap year and date of birth as 29th February as 2000 is the Leap year and there is difference of 3 years in Mr. Shah's age. But that is not the answer.
