"What percentage of Americans have their birthday on Halloween?"There was a slider bar, and I was supposed to slide to the percentage I thought was the answer.
I debated this for a bit. "Can't be that many, right? I mean I don't think I know anybody with Halloween as their birthday."
Why I had this thought, I'm not quite sure because I know that I WOULD CERTAINLY REMEMBER SOMEONE HAVING HALLOWEEN ON THEIR BIRTHDAY.
But never mind my internal arguments.
So I inversed it. 13%. Seems like it's low enough.
The answer?
Well you can click the pic to make it readable for yourself or just listen: ONE PERCENT.
That's it.
ONE PERCENT of Americans have Halloween as their birthday.
Now I don't know what the magic internet survey people used to find that number. Heck I don't even know if I should trust it. But I do.
Bottom line: if you've got Halloween as your birthday you are RARE.
You're an Action Comics #1.
You're a Loch Ness monster.
You're an upside down airplane stamp.
Rare.

Wow, I agree with you. That is lower than I would have thought.
Cheers!
Am I living in the future?
The Frog Queen: Yep.
I probably should have added a question to see if anyone knows anyone with a Halloween birthday.
Necropolis: Yes. Yes you are. Live it up because the world ends on May 21st, unless you can get your hearse up to 88 miles per hour.
(Actually I'm trying to retro-actively fulfill my promise of a post-a-day for a year. Filling holes when I can...)
Darn, I missed being the Loch Ness Monster by like 5 days.... I was born on 10-26, and no - never known anyone born on the 31st. Weird!
