Stupid trick for those born in 1980

A friend pointed out a somewhat interesting thing for figuring out the age of people born in 1980. Say, for instance the current year is 2031: you take the first 2 digits (20) and add them to the last 2 in order to get the age of the person. eg: 20+31=51.

Neat but trivial trick that will only work for this century. I just wish that I had not spent as much time tonight as I did trying to explain it though... :-/

  1. You're right, that is pretty stupid :)
    I figure out my age by subtracting my birthday epoch time from the the present epoch time and dividing the result by 60, 60, 24 and then 365.
