Me, my girlfriend, and 2 of my 3 siblings were born on the 29th of a month. Let’s go with that!

I’d say zero – because there is some evidence that honeybees can understand the concept of zero, and I will shamelessly take the opportunity to link any answer back to bees…: https://institutions.newscientist.com/article/2142884-bees-are-first-insects-shown-to-understand-the-concept-of-zero/

Are any the 29th February Ben? 😀
I like 5. I like the shape it makes, and it’s the date of my birthday, and the number I was in the class register for years.

None are, we aren’t that special! I just looked at the probability of at least 3 of 4 siblings being born on the same day of the month and it’s apparently about half of a percent, so still reasonably unique.
