Thanks!<br /><br />Mr. Motomynd, I'm familiar with the situation of which you speak. My daughter was born on December 31 (about 8 p.m., 1969). By the way, by ACLU Directrix Leland's method of determining birthday times, she would have had no birthday the following year. But because of the problem you identify, she wouldn't have really had it anyway (not to mention that, at that age, and never having had a birthday before, she wouldn't have been expecting one in the first place).Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-40608087586364709562011-03-02T19:58:15.445-05:002011-03-02T19:58:15.445-05:00All the complex math is highly entertaining.

May I contribute a simpler math situation that poses a similar conundrum? <br /><br />In what situation would you NEVER get to properly celebrate a birthday? <br /><br />Answer: Have one a week from Christmas, like mine.<br /><br />motomyndmotomyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10571595340251375602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-32491891701722150742011-03-02T15:45:10.521-05:002011-03-02T15:45:10.521-05:00Could it be that the students of those 10 other co...Could it be that the students of those 10 other countries are calculating their birthdays based on their birthtimes and the exact duration of the Earth's revolution? Probably not. There is likely another explanation for their success... and better remedies for the poor performance of our students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-6972094048323741672011-03-02T15:31:59.380-05:002011-03-02T15:31:59.380-05:00Well, Steve, rest assured that James Leland, ACLU ...Well, Steve, rest assured that James Leland, ACLU Directrix, intended the whole thing as a joke, as I did the original post on this topic. Also, I trust that you have figured out the true identity of that august individual? (Please don't reveal it in your comment; let me know by email.

Knowing when my birthday will be, seems a little more complicated. Just so you know. I did have one last year, but not sure when it was (grin).Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353373844105134032noreply@blogger.com
