After all your age is exactly the amount of time that's passed since you were born. The only qualification is that if you haven't yet had your 2011 birthday, you need to add an extra 1, because your official age is still the same as it was in 2010.<br />The result just says that if you add your age to the year you were born (and then add 1 if you haven't had your birthday yet), you end up in the current year. Next year the magic number will be 112. <br />And no, I'm not a mathematical genious, I had to work it out slowly and carefully. It really is a nifty little parlour trick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-55688088235367515202011-03-25T05:55:47.007-07:002011-03-25T05:55:47.007-07:00Great Scott... this is too neat.. thanks! :)Great Scott... this is too neat.. thanks! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-34862153888364086842011-03-25T02:38:16.408-07:002011-03-25T02:38:16.408-07:00You are absolutely right and I am sure that there ...You are absolutely right and I am sure that there is a very simple mathematical reason for this, but as it is early in the morning and maths has never been my strong point then I just say - clever you.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-33871206508298756272011-03-25T02:14:34.597-07:002011-03-25T02:14:34.597-07:00I'd love to explain how it works, MBJ, but I a...I'd love to explain how it works, MBJ, but I am verging on innumerate (and illiterate, if my spell-checker is anything to go by).<br /><br />I was hoping one of you mathematical genius' would explain it.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-85913605611971208772011-03-24T22:14:51.625-07:002011-03-24T22:14:51.625-07:00Mine came out as 37; but I cheated!Mine came out as 37; but I cheated!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-9607610715974893472011-03-24T18:45:09.312-07:002011-03-24T18:45:09.312-07:00Would you care to explain how and why this works f...Would you care to explain how and why this works for everyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-11246847252820791912011-03-24T16:04:49.504-07:002011-03-24T16:04:49.504-07:00Scary......Scary......Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562775041134498313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-51483407118643532972011-03-24T16:00:35.847-07:002011-03-24T16:00:35.847-07:00you were late posting!
