Only one date, 23 April, has been the birthday of more than one prime minister—Frederick Whitaker and Edward Stafford. The birthday problem indicates that, on average, a birthday will be shared after about 25 prime ministers have served. The Whitaker–Stafford birthday coincidence, the only one to date, occurred after only five distinct prime ministers had served.
