I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.
But you still have to know what year it is.
If you’re born in '89 just add 11 to the current year and you have your age (34). This works for any year you’re born.
Born in ''83? Just add 17 to the current year. You have your age (40)
On the other hand, it makes it easier for the people who have to check your ID when buying alcohol. Any birth year that begins with 19 is automatically old enough.
The hardest is my parents’ age.
- 1965 to 2000 -> 35
- 2000 to 2023 -> 23
- 35 + 23 = brain leaking
its just 11 + the current year.
I am 1988 so i am 12 + the current year.Didn’t think of it like that until your post but it is pretty easy.
You’re 2035 years old? Wild…
Does anybody need to calculate their age? It’s not a hard thing to remember :|
Sometimes I just forget ok? I mean it’s changing every year
Also I think it matters less and less in your life. As a child/teenager you got asked for your age all the time
Math like that is really simple if you take it in easy chunks.
For example, to calc your age, just take the years from birthday to 2000 (11) and add it to the years since 2000 (23). 11 + 23 = 34.
Best part is the first calc never changes - so if you remember thst number it’s just like having a 2000 birthday. Just add 11.
