Sir Pete, you are so funny. When everyone makes a sum of their age, the date of birth, and the age, the total is always shown in the present year of age. hah hah hah
Yes, it won’t work for you until November. It assumes you will put your age this year. It should really be posted on December the 31st. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
It is supposed to appear on the 31st of December, when everyone has had their birthday. But in August, it still works for a large percentage of the population. 🙂
Hahahaha it works for every year!! Next year he’ll be 69, 69 + 1954 = 2023, 70 + 1954 = 2024. if you add the number of years you’ve lived to the year you were born, you will get the current year, every year.
