George Yang@GriffinGroup There was an odd couple. π
Angshu Chatterjee@GriffinGroup thatβs the dirty party of stats.
Those many unique people? How about polygamous societies? How about people getting married to other non-people - dogs, cats? Getting married to themselves?

John Earle@GriffinGroup Don't some whoppers get married to fridges and other inanimate objects? Or thruples
Damian Yerrick@GriffinGroup Maybe one of the couples got married on New Year's with home countries on opposite sides of the International Date Line, so one of them counted for 2022 and the other for 2021 or 2023.
