| # This is used for calculating of birthday paradox for large values | |
| # We're using approximation explained here: http://preshing.com/20110504/hash-collision-probabilities/ | |
| # Beware that approximation isn't very precise at smaller params N and K, but gets more precise with large numbers | |
