Weird / interesting fact about the year 2022

Friend shared this info today:
If you add the nuber of your age to the year you were born, you'll get 2022.

E.g. 62 + 1960 = 2022.
Any age and year!

I don't know how is that possible, but what if this means it's some sort of significant year?

But that works for every year does it’s not….

Igotjelly · 03/12/2022 18:30

So for example 1960 + 63 = 2023

Hahahaha

Please tell me this is a joke....

BamBamBilla · 03/12/2022 18:32

Oh honey..

FluffyYucca · 03/12/2022 18:35

It doesn’t work if you haven’t had your birthday yet this year…

BorisJohnsonsHair · 03/12/2022 18:35

Please tell me this is a piss-take ...

Ermmmmm…..

MrsMigginsCat · 03/12/2022 18:38

It happens every year!

Oh God it's ages since I've seen this shit on FB. Now it's on MN.

And for me and anybody else born after Dec 3rd, it's complete horseshit.

It's boggling that people can't understand that the year they were born, plus the years since they were born = the current year.

MrsMorton · 03/12/2022 18:45

Holy fuck balls.

Magic, not maths, magic I tell you!

But of course - the year you are in now, minus the year you were born, is always going to equal your age! 🙄

grapehyacinthisactuallyblue · 03/12/2022 18:55

Wow, who knew!

AmberGer · 03/12/2022 18:55

That's not weird or interesting, it's just basic maths 😂

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 03/12/2022 18:59

If you liked that one, OP, this one will blow your mind:

Take the year 2022 and subtract the year you were born - ta-da - your current age!*

*works if born on or before 3rd December.

Year of logic and basic maths.

Wine lunch - and I blame my friend who emailed everyone about it!
