It may not make you dumber, but you'd have to be pretty dumb to start in the first place considering the decades of evidence on the harmful effects.

Only if the odds of being born on any given day in the year are exactly equal.

The real true answer can be determined thusly:
1) Count everyone currently alive on planet Earth. Call that number P
2) Figure out how many living people were born on December 4th. Call that number D
If you pick n living people at random, the chance that none of them were born on December 4th is (1-D/P)(1-D/(P-1))(1-D/(P-2))... or [math]\prod_{i=0}^n1-\frac{D}{P-i}[/math]
The chance that at least one of them was born on December 4th is therefore [math]1 - \prod_{i=0}^n1-\frac{D}{P-i}[/math]

Assuming a 2-player game of Texas Hold'em
There's 54 cards in the deck
each player has a hand of two cards and there's five on the table, nine cards total
54 choose 9 = 5,317,936,260 possible games

Obviously you usually play poker with more than 2 people, but there are fewer possible games the larger the number of players.
54 choose (5+2x) is the total number of x-player poker games. x can't be more than 29.

If you decided to consider an n-player game of poker as a fundamentally different game than an (n+m)-player game, there are 27 different games which all fall under the general umbrella of Texas Hold'em.
[math]\sum_{k=2}^{29} \frac{54!}{(5+2k)! (54-(5+2k))!} = 9,007,199,074,453,064[/math] is the number of ALL possible Hold'em games.

9,007,199,074,453,064 isn't even close to how many possible chess games exist.

Communism is the most expensive way to grow potatoes, requiring the death of millions. And when your slave laborers in the gulags die you'll have to arrest innocent people so that you still have enough laborers to grow crops. And when your inept government allocates its resources poorly and the famine begins you'll have to abolish church property, seize said property, and sell them on an international market, in return for imported bread, which you will then prevent the people from eating because if they ate the bread you would have to buy more.

no such number exists

if there exist uncountably infinite sets with different cardinalities then there are uncountably infinite cardinalities

i leave the proof as an exercise for the reader

900 octillion years is [math]2.838*10^37 seconds[/math]
the american m9 flamethrower consumes half a gallon of fuel per second
therefore each marine is responsible for [math]1.419*10^37[/math] gallons of fuel
this is 1/85 the volume of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse
The volume of the universe (in gallons) is [math]9*10^82[/math] gallons
The combined fuel volume of a mere [math]6.342*10^48[/math] marines would fill the observable universe
Remember there are a googolplex ([math]10^{10^100}[/math]) marines

Assuming that all marines store all their fuel in a spherical building (the radius of which is a mindblowing [math]1.0864*10^{\frac{{{10^100}+34}}{3}}[/math] meters), even if the marines set up a defensive perimeter underneath the sphere, a googolplex marines are tasked with defending a circular zone with a circumference far exceeding the circumference of the known universe. This is even after minimizing radius as far as possible, to the point where the ceiling formed by the fuel sphere over the marines' heads is only 3 meters from the ground.

If the marines are equally spaced around this circle, they are each more than 30 meters from their nearest ally. This constitutes a problem, as the effective range of an m9 flamethrower is 15 meters. It is only a matter of time before the marines are surrounded, as their friends cannot protect their flanks.

I wasted far too much time thinking about this bullshit so this latex better fucking work
