Puzzle Solving - Hep solving a riddle homework


Expert: Rohit Agarwal - 9/16/2007

Question
Here is the riddle:  Two days ago I was 20.  Later next year I will be 23.  How is that possible?

Answer
This is quite easy.

Let today be 1st January 2007. And let your b'day be on the 31st of Dec 1985. That means currently your age is 21. However, two days ago, it was 30th Dec 2006 and you were 20 years old. Later next year, say 31st Dec 2008, you will turn 23.

Hope you get it.

Rohit
