Yes. The figure of 99.58% given by Charles Frey is correct. More precisely,
it's about 99.5815978%.

Doug McLaren's figure of 51% for nine people is also off. The correct figure
is about 53.4504048%. The answer of nine people is correct though, since the
probability for eight people is about 44.5838152%.
