   That's not the point, though.   
   But is the right question:   
      
   1)  Given an (otherwise undefined) list of 198 people, what are the odds   
       that exactly one of them has a birthday that falls on a particular day?   
      
   2)  Given the specific list of AFU birthdays, what are the odds that just   
       one of those birthday dates matches any particular day?
