If you add the year you were born, to your age, you will get 2017, only comes round every thousand years apparently ....

Unless I'm mistaken, there will never be another 2017.

Hmm! Age = 60 , Born = 1956 60 + 1956 + 2016 ! Maybe if I wait 45 days the maths will work.

Surely this only works if you have already had your birthday this year? And frankly, if it didn't equal 2017 it would mean you were terrible at maths.

Next year, guess what? It will equal 2018.

I'm 68, born in 1948. And I have a degree in Mathematics, so my addition is pretty much up to scratch. ;)

Please explain, WHL. :?

Basically, WHL has demonstrated that if you add your age to the year you were born in, you get the current year. This only works if you have already had your birthday this year though.

I don't know why WHL found this fact fascinating though. Equally fascinating, is that if the day of the week you happen to be reading this on is friday, then the next day WILL ALWAYS BE (!!!) saturday.

I think you missed the point of a few posts there. All taken in good humour.

Perhaps I'm older than I think......
