OFF TOPIC

I found this info from friend.

Tried this on myself, and it's true.
Then, my wife, it's true.

For those born on year 2000 and above, the answer will be 11.

How amazing ha?

The best part is, this year is 2011

.....

Yes ... the number of years between your birth and the end of the century in which you were born is clearly 100 minus the number formed by the last two digits of your birth year, isn't it? So if you add to that number the current number of years since your birth year, the total must be a century (100) plus the number of years of this century which have elapsed, and that's currently 11.

If you add any number to (100 minus that number), the answer's going to be 100, isn't it?

It works only for people who have already had their birthday this year. Since it's November now, that's most people.

But try it for someone born in December, and you'll see that their answer is actually 110, not 111, because at the moment their age is still "a year less".

On December 31st, it will be true for everyone.

OK, let's say I was born 2000, I could be 11! 0+11=11 OOPS! Houston w have a problem!
Of course, if I were 12 it would be 99+11=110
13 would be 98+13=111
14 would be 97+14=111
