That would work if people birthdays were uniformly distributed among the dates. But that's not the case. (Most people born 100 years ago are now dead.)

- ronaldx 13y agoAs long as you split the distribution uniformly into categories with the same number of people, it doesn't matter that it's not uniform by date.
- bnegreve 13y agoYes, except that you cannot expect people to be able to answer this "question" anymore. There is no doubt that you can uniquely identify the world population with 33 bits, so I guess the problem is to do it with questions people can answer themself.
