and in another post you said to use 78 and not 1978.

You were not born in year 93.

If someone was 36 years old....

78-36=42
42+40=82

A 36 year old would be born in 1982

Are you serious in asking how it works?

78+40 is 118
This year is 2018
Subtracting your age from 118 will give you the year you were born assuming you’re not older than 119 years old or younger than 19 years old

82 does not equal 1982 because math

You don't get to make these arbitrary assumptions

If you weren't born Dec 9-31 of this year...lol, it works out

78-40=38
38+40=78
1978 is the year
That's all the help I can give you LOL

As I said in the OP, you have to use the numbers 78 and 40. Can't use other numbers

You can use any numbers that add up to equal 118

Anyone know how that works?

Because we’re 40 years from 1978.

ETA: it doesn’t work if you were born Dec 9-31. It only works if you’ve already had your birthday this year.

39 years old. Born 1978. 78-39+40=79 =\= 78
