birthday problem



Hi,

I've been inspired this Feb 29th to think about birthdays, and how they're distributed in our calendar year.
I've found surprisingly few bits of data, and none that cover 4 years, which would include all possible calendar dates.

I did numerous Google searches, and found some graphs with limited sample sizes over 1 year,
but I was surprised that I did not find any good numbers for world wide data on this.

The date cannot be totally random, yet for most studies, it is taken that it is.

Am I that unusual to think of this basic fact?
Could anyone point me to some studies on these numbers?
