There are two ways to calculate half-birthdays. The easier but less precise method is to take the number of the date of the birthday and advance the month by six: e.g. April 20 becomes October 20. More than 75% of the time this method results in a wrong date. [3]
In probability theory, the birthday problem asks for the probability that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, at least two will share a birthday. The birthday paradox refers to the counterintuitive fact that only 23 people are needed for that probability to exceed 50%. The birthday paradox is a veridical paradox: it seems wrong at first ...

This is important for Jews, particularly when calculating the correct date for day of birth, day of death, a bar mitzva or a bat mitzva. This is because the Jewish calendar differs from the secular and Christian Gregorian ...
With that argument we should not include "A half birthday is determined by adding or subtracting 182.725 days to a birthday. For example, if a birthday is May 15 (135th day of the year), the half-birthday is November 14 (day 317.625, rounded to day 318)."
The distribution of births according to month in the general population. The term relative age effect (RAE), also known as birthdate effect or birth date effect, is used to describe a bias, evident in the upper echelons of youth sport [1] and academia, [2] where participation is higher amongst those born earlier in the relevant selection period (and lower for those born later in the selection ...
