I wonder what the odds are.
ReplyDeleteI assumed you’d used GPT for this, so I did too. It gave me an unsatisfactory response:
Here are some famous people who were born and died on the same day of the year:
1. **William Shakespeare** - Born on April 23, 1564, and died on April 23, 1616.
2. **John Adams** - Born on October 30, 1735, and died on October 30, 1826.
3. **Mark Twain** - Born on November 30, 1835, and died on April 21, 1910 (though he was born and died close to the same date, he did not die on the same date).
4. **Robert Frost** - Born on March 26, 1874, and died on January 29, 1963 (again, not the same date).
While the examples for Mark Twain and Robert Frost show instances of notable figures with close dates, Shakespeare and Adams are clear examples of individuals who share their birth and death dates.
1 in 133,225. GPT is good at something at least.
