So does this apply to the problem: 0.6% of people have micropenis. How many friends do you need to have before you’ll know someone?

It doesn’t seem to, because there isn’t any element of comparing them between each other. It’s just a straight percentage chance.

Maybe is you ask the question like this:

If a person with a micropenis is in a room, how many men are needed in that room to have a 50% chance of someone else in there also with a micropenis? And how many women in that room are needed for a 50% chance a woman has a bigger clitoris than that person's micropenis?

Or:

How many men in a room are needed to have a 50% chance someone else has the same penis size?

Yeah that would turn it into more of a birthday problem.

It would also make it downright weird.

It would also make it downright weird.

So you mean a room full of men talking about their size, or a full scale measuring contest?

Both would be fucking weird though xD
