Unless your birthday hasn't happened yet

AND

next year everyone will be 2024, like last year everyone was 2022.

Q board posters are way too smart!

I have to admit, I saw it on Facebook and thought it was neat.

Nope. Husband is 69 and was born in 1953, which equals 2022. Now, when he turns 70 in another month, it will be a different story.

Doesn't work for me either. 66 now. Born in 1956. Totals 2022. My birthday is in a few weeks. I guess it only works for people who already had their birthdays this year. (?)

Sorry. Didn't see the other explanations before I posted.

It's really not that strange at all. It makes sense that adding age and birth year would total the number of the current year.

Next year, when everyone is a year older, add that to the birth year and the sum will be 2024.

🤷‍♀️

Yeah you have to have already had your 2023 birthday so by 12/31 it works for everyone 😉

I think for those not adding up you have to use the age you move to this year.

If you have an upcoming birthday next month, use that age instead of what you are now.

It doesn’t matter reasons, but for a brief moment on this forum we had a bit of fun instead of sniping at each other.

Yes, thank you. It doesn't work for birthdays that haven't happened this year yet.
Still hard to understand how it all is possible.

@Malcontent Exactly! If I see something interesting on Facebook, I will post in hopes someone may enjoy it.

I still don't know if people are joking. I'm not usually this blunt, but how could anyone think this is some kind of magic.

Re: Strange...Add Age & Year Born....

bikerbabe — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 23:09:51 GMT

2023 - year born = age

This is the same as

2023 = age + year born

This assumes you’ve had your birthday already in 2023.

But the graphic is wrong. Everyone’s age isn’t 2023. 🤣

This works every year BUT only on December 31.

Mine works out (70 + 1953)

DH turns 70 next month so his number is 2022

(69 + 1953)

My sister is 71 born 1951. Her birthday is next month.

Calculates correctly if you've had your birthday this year?
