Who is ready for some lateral thinking???

The person to figure this out wins a Jacuzzi in their mansion in heaven. Good luck.

Birthday Blues
The day before yesterday Freda was 17. Next year she will be 20. How can this be so?

Uhhhh was she a Leap Year baby? Wait no that's like 7 years...what the?!!

Mike figured this one out in like 2 seconds. It took me a while longer to figure it out. But it IS possible. lol. If I can figure it out, anyone can. :) I will give hints if you want.

"Today" is Jan 1, her birthday is Dec 31st... So, Dec 30, she was 17, then turned 18 on Dec 31...the next year (today) she will turn 19, then the following year she turns 20.

I hope that made sense!

I'm embarassed to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm going to go with the whole Dec 31st/Jan 1 thing.

Michelle said...

You are correct Mary. Geniusness must run in the family. :)

Mary said...

I love those kind of brain teasers. Sadly, my brain cells are too exhausted at present, so I only made a half hearted attempt. I'm not sure I'd have guessing it anyway though, that's very clever. Way to go Mary and Mike!
