Title: Your Age
Post by: Tassie on December 11, 2018, 06:47:38 AM

On the 31st of December
 
We are all 2018 today  ?     Today the whole world is the same age.
 
Today is a very special day.
It happens only once every 1,000 years.
 
Your age + your year of birth = 2018.
This is true for everyone.
 
It is both strange and inexplicable. Try it and see.
 
It will not happen again for another 1,000 years.
 
So?.. HAPPY Birthday everyone !!

Regards

I get 2017, but I have a birthday coming late December so 2018 indeed.

Wow, this also works for the Thai Calendar (using the normal Year end of 31 Dec)

My daughter was born 2556 and she is 5.   2556 + 5 = 2561 (2018)   Amazing. 


It is not inexplicable, in fact it is logical that it will work ever year.   (Birthyear) + (Current Age) = Current Year
