How do I simulate the birthday paradox?

Open this page and use the live 3D Surface Plotter tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.

Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.

Can I use my own numbers?

Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive the birthday paradox from your own measurements.

Governing equation

z = f (x, y) = sin(sqrt(x*x+y*y))

Reading this result: This surface is radially symmetric: it depends only on distance from the origin, so it looks the same from every direction around the vertical axis.

About this simulation

The full 3D Surface Plotter tool models the birthday paradox with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
