What is the probability that in a randomly choosen group of r people at least three people have the same birthday?

$$1 - {{365.364....\,(365\, - \,r\, + \,1)} \over {{{365}^r}}}$$

$$ {{365.364....\,(365\, - \,r\, + \,1)} \over {{{365}^r}}}$$
$$ + {\,^r}{C_2}.\,365.{{364.363....\,(364\, - \,(r - 2)\, + \,1)} \over {{{365}^{r - 2}}}}$$

$$1 - {{365.364....\,(365\, - \,r\, + \,1)} \over {{{365}^r}}}$$
$$ - {\,^r}{C_2}.\,365.{{364.363....\,(364\, - \,(r - 2)\, + \,1)} \over {{{365}^{r - 2}}}}$$

$${{365.364....\,(365\, - \,r\, + \,1)} \over {{{365}^r}}}$$
