Abstract
In a given set, the elements are compared pairwise. The number W of similar pairs is studied, that is, the number of pairs with a certain property in common. Under certain conditions, W has, approximately, a Poisson distribution. Examples are considered connected with the birthday problem and with a circle problem involving DNA breakages.
