    Cool
In summary, if someone is born on Jan 23 1967, next year they will be 45 and if you put down month, day, age, and year, the resulting number will be 01234567. This also works for someone born on Jan 23 1945, as they will be 67 at this point. This is the only time in our calendar that this will ever happen. The same trick will also happen in 2112, as this happens every 100 years. The conversation ends with amazement at the random arrangement of numbers resulting in a number line.

do you know that,
if someone is born on Jan 23 1967 , next year they will be 45
now, if you put down month, day, age and year, you get 01234567.
work also if you were born on Jan 23 1945, at this point you will be 67.
this is the only time, in our calendar this will ever happen.

The same trick will also happen in 2112 :wink:

Wow, you 'randomly' arranged numbers and got a number line...

You've blown my mind. :rolleyes:

I would like to clarify that this is not an unbelievable coincidence or phenomenon. It is simply a result of how we have constructed our calendar system. Our calendar is based on a 365-day year, with 12 months and a leap year every four years. This means that every year, our age increases by one and the date and month remain the same. Therefore, it is not surprising that someone born on January 23, 1967, will be 45 in the following year and that their birth date and age can be written as 01234567. This pattern will continue for anyone born on January 23, regardless of the year, until they reach the age of 67. While this may seem like a unique occurrence, it is simply a result of the structure of our calendar system.
