They grow up so fast!
In 1990, a person is 15 years old. In 1995 that same person is 10 years old. How is this possible?
sorry i screwed up half of my answer. that person was born in 2005 BC...10 years later was 1995 BC and 15 eyars later was 1990 BC. so today that person would be 4012 years old.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.

Those dates must be B.C. So that person was born in 1980 B.C. and if he or she were still alive today, would be 3987 years old.
ReplyDeleteGood thinking. Or they are stuck in an anti-time anomaly

ReplyDeleteNice work, Andrew. The years are BC, not AD.
ReplyDeleteDeekin, I usually work within the bounds of this reality. ;-)
