Because, if x stands for the last two digits of the year you were born, then in 111 you will be (100 - x) + 11 years old, and:
111 = 111 111 = 111 + x - x 111 = x + 111 - x 111 = x + [111 - x] 111 = x + [110 - x + 11] 111 = x + [(110 -x) + 11]
Similar for 110 = 110 and 112 = 112
How poetic, ¿no?
There has to be something warped and twisted about someone who comments in response to this, but not to your wonderful series on Paris and Giverny and Van Gogh's grave ... Guilty as accused ;)
You didn't miss much by not paying attention. I see I made a mistake above: where I wrote "then in 111 you will be...", I meant to say "then in 2011 you will be ..."

Well I DID ask why, but I wasn't expecting a response. I knew I should have paid more attention in algebra. .Thanks Lorenzo.
Wow! Lorenzo, who's a clever boy then?
