Well it isn't a problem with my understanding of statistics; I have a
masters in statistics from UC Berkeley!  And I already know this is a
Birthday problem.

Like I said, I haven't actually calculated any p-values yet , it's just
my judgment so far.  But it's easy to calculate p-values, so I'll do so
as soon as I get a chance, maybe this weekend.
