Royalwaster Being born is a sin that is punished with death.

NewCorkSeth But he isnt 29. He's 28.

He's a lot nearer 29 than he is 28. That's a fact.

He's 28. Now that is a fact.

Why am I not surprised that fractions are beyond you? The day after his birthday, he is no longer 28.

He's 28 until he becomes 29. That's how it works.

I counted my son's age in weeks, and then months until he was older than 1 ... he definitely wasn't '0 years old' until his first birthday.

Millsy The thing with age is every year it goes up by 1. So if you're 26 this year for example, next year you'll be 27, the following year 28, the year after that 29 etc.
Should the thread header be changed every year on his birthday so nobody gets confused and thinks he's still 27 when he isn't?

I couldn't work out whose side he was on tbh, although let's not let that distract us from the fact that you think £1.75 should be rounded down to £1.

Reading FC legend Alex Fernández has turned 28 today. Tomorrow he is no longer 28.

Isn't age truncated rather than rounded?

Good suggestion Forbs.

Thanks SDR (!!), that'd be appreciated.

Koreans measure age from fertilisation, and everyone changes age on the first day of the new year.

So Koreans are born age 1. And a Korean born in late December will be 2 years old within days of their birth.

Bizarrely none of our players are 27. Laurent is 28 but has never been 27. Although none of our players are 26 it is possible someone will be 27 but it would probably either happen today or tomorrow or not until next year.

Racehorses are all born on 1st January.

We can all agree this is ridiculous, right?

Reading "Humble Pi" by Matt Parker, all about math errors

Fair bit on birthdays and who is how old. Good stuff.

It's often about is zero a number?


I like this one. A man starts work at 8AM, has floors 8-12 to clean, so thinks one hour, one floor, right?

Inclusive or exclusive? And what does he do for the other hours?

How big are the floors?
