Wonderful. Are you aware of the Tuesday Boy problem? I think it could have been a more impressive second example.
(The intended interpretation is that I have two children, and at least one of them is a boy-born-on-a-Tuesday.)
I found it here: Magic numbers: A meeting of mathemagical tricksters
The Tuesday Boy was loads of fun to think about the first time I came across it - thanks to the parent comment. I worked through the calculations with my 14yo son, on a long metro ride, as a way to test my understanding - he seemed to be following along fine.
The discussion in the comments on this blog on Azimuth has, however, taken the delight to an entirely new level. Just wanted to share.
