If I enter '100' in the collisions field, the probability computes at 0%. This means that in a group of 23 people, there is no chance that they all share the same birthday. While such a coincidence is statistically unlikely, the probability is non-zero.So, where do you think the error lies? https://flatassembler.github.io/birthday_paradox.aec

Fairly sure it’s a programmer error.
