If a child is born at 7am on the 1st of February in Australia and it's currently 7pm on the 31st January in the UK and 7am on 1st feb hasn't happened yet so they can't have been born then what time would you say they were born ?

I used to have my birthday in France as a child. We always said it was an hour later there because we are a pedantic family and we cared about the minute I turned x. I suppose we did ignore leap years...

This post made me chuckle. My sister had her baby in Australia early in the morning, and texted us all on after. It is a family 'joke' that we all found out about the birth the day before it happened. Poor niece just rolls her eyes.

@chomalungma obviously you would have to count age in exact hours and minutes so you aren’t 50 until the correct number of hours has passed, accounting for leap years etc based on the year/month you were born surely
