Year or 11!!

haha yeah, it really isn’t that weird.
your year of birth + any random number = the year you turn that age, so
your year of birth + your age this year = 2011
all that’s different here is that the 1900 is excluded, hence the 111 (2011 – 1900 = 111) and why years 2000+ only get 11
🙂

lol your way makes a lot more sense! well done livvie

LOL it even works for my puppy crazy !

lol I’ve been pondering this thing for a while now, and the little maths nerd in me wants to explain it!!

say we were back in the year 2000, the last two numbers in the year you were born plus your current age would equal 100.
eg. if you were born in 1925, you would be turning 75, 25+75 =100
Now that were 11 years later in 2011 we just add 11 to 100 which makes the sum 111. Next year it will be 112 🙂

and that is the end of my maths lesson 😛

Lol! and only a true mathematician would be bothered to work that out 🙂 Well done for giving this topic that extra thought and time 🙂
