Doesn't work for me! 62 + 50 = 112 !
me neither - I get 112
Maybe it's the fact that you've both just had birthday's Pengy and Kimota Not sure why, but....
It works for me this month, but it won't work next month.
It works for me this year but won't next year.
It will work only if you haven't had your birthday this year yet.
It works because your birth year in full (instead of the last two digits) plus your age....gives 2011....and if you take away the 1900 you get 111
eg. 1973 + 38 = 2011
So 73 + 38 = 111
But as soon as I've had my birthday and then become 39 ( *sobs* ) it won't work.....cos that's my "2012" birthday.
works for me this year
Well explained Ducky, even I could understand that.
Actually, it won't work for me after my birthday either
Are you sure you're adding it up right?
It works for me this year but won't next year.
Next year the "trick"number would have to be 112. And will need to go up one each year for it to work. 112 isn't going to seem as impressive as 111 though.

stop yer greeting, you're only a young ducker

Oooh just had another though....are you sure you remember how old you are?
*runs*

I have no idea what greeting means in that context. It's obviously before my time. WOOO HOOOO!
I live too near the border, it's scottish for crying and you're still a young ducker....pleased I'm not drinking
Well explained Ducky, even I could understand that.
I'd better stop loitering and go and say hello to Baz in the Darnies. She'll be putting me on the naughty step for staying out too late if I'm not careful
I only meant that you'd explained it so well that even someone like me (ie rubbish at mathematical things) could understand it.
I know that's what you meant Yogi I was sticking up for you! Against you bullying yourself!
You're well clever innit At least you got yours to work..... unlike Baz.

Oi Duckster... check it out............ mine worked....... at the moment^^^^^^^^^

Oh, oops....I assumed the "either" meant it didn't work before or after.... but now I see what you mean.
*crosses out "calculator" from Baz's birthday pressie list*

Nah, doesn't work for me. 61 + 51 = 112
Maybe it's the fact that you've both just had birthday's Pengy and Kimota Not sure why, but....
Kimota has the same birthday as me so maybe that's why

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You see... I hear the chunterings between the lines in ^^^^^
I hear her teeth grinding & her muttering "Its not bloody magic, or spooky or even that cool... its just basic bloody maths & this time I cannot contain myself I am going to have to just myth bust it right here & right now"
Oy! There was no chuntering
A slight sigh was all I could muster..... it being a Friday night after a long week of teaching the next generation to hate all things mathematical
just a bit of keyboard pounding then?
All future birthdays for me are cancelled. I might just have a 40th every year so I can have a party
me neither - I get 112
When that thing first came out it said....'Your age (this year)'
It is also specific to each year. Last year it was 111, this yeat it is 112 and next year it will be 113.
It's not really a good example of a conundrum because it has to be updated each year.
