Thanks guys
I'm not a stats guy, but that can't be right. 10% of the time sounds crazy high.

first guy picks a number

second guy has a 1 in 100 chance of getting same
third guy has a 2 in 100 chance
fourth guy a 3 in 100 chance
fifth guy a 4 in 100 chance
sixth guy a 5 in 100 chance

15 chances in 500, or 3% I think.

Edit.

hmmm. Or if you don't count the order of choosing, is it 5 chances in 100 times 6 guys?

this is why I'm not a stats expert, but if someone can explain the answer that'd be cool.
