Guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 umm... if the day before yesterday he was 25 doesn't that mean that he's 26 when he said that, and wouldn't the next year make him 27 and not 28? kinda lost there... can u explain it to me?

Guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 The day before yesterday (December 30) he was 25. He turned 26 on December 31. He talked about it on January 1. That year he would turn 27, so "next year" he would turn 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well, if you were 25 two days ago, I am assuming your birthday was yesterday, and assuming yesterday was New Years Eve, that means you were 26 yesterday, you are going to be 27 this year and 28 next year.

Guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 this one needs reworded, on Jan. 1st he will not BE 28 he will turn 28 if you reworded: it to be he will turn 28 next year it would make more sence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 that only works if when you say "the next year" being the 31st. If you say it meaning Jan 1st, which is the day he is on, then he would still be 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Febuary 29, xxxx the riddle mentions that it's a day in a year, it doesn't say that it's a day in EVERY year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Dude must feel really old when he thinks of his birthday like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 So it seems it would be Feb 29th but isnt that every 4 years not 3? so he would go from 25 to 29 correct? so wouldnt it have to be new years? Correct me if im wrong please, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think the thread should be like this, I'll be 28 next year => this year I'll be or have been 27 in other words, my 27th birthday is in this year => my 26th birthday was in last year, couldn't be today Moreover, because I was 25 the day before yesterday, my 26th birthday should be yesterday, which was in the last year. In conclusion, yesterday was Dec.31th, my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Okay, this is for the benefit of those who do not understand this riddle: Dec 30, 2007: I am 25 years old, and my birthday is tomorrow. Dec 31, 2007: Happy birthday to me!! I am now 26 years old. Jan1, 2008: TWO DAYS AGO (aka Dec 30, 2007), I was 25 years old. Next year, I will be 28! >>>>>>>>>>>>fast forward to............ Dec 31, 2008: I turned 27 today....notice this is still the same year that I mentioned the "TWO DAYS AGO" statement. >>>>>>>>>>>>fast forward to.......... Dec 31, 2009: I turned 28 today!! Remember when I said that "next year I will be 28"? I said that in 2008, right? This is 2009, right? 2009 DOES come after 2008, right? If you don't get this by now, get off the short bus you so obviously go to school on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Oh, man, I love this one! I'm in seventh grade, and my math teacher gave us this problem maybe 3 weeks ago. I was the only one to solve it, which doesn't really surprise me, since I am smarter than a lot of 8th graders, but it was really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
