For all these problems I find it easier to just simulate it and plot the results. Do a loop with 100k iterations. In each iteration generate 23 numbers between 1,365 from a uniform distribution. Then check in how many iterations you had duplicate entries.

You will see that asymptomatically you will reach 50k cases




Covid cases are asymptomatically approaching zero. However, your duplicate entries will reach their target asymptotically :)

I know, Apple ios keyboard does not.
