Riddle

In 1990, a person is 15 years old. In 1995, that same person is 10 years old. How can this be?

Choose an answer

A.They lied about their age
B.They had a birthday reversal
C.It's a leap year error
D.The person was born in 2005 B.C. (Before Christ). Therefore, he was 5 years old in 2000 B.C., 10 in 1995 B.C., and 15 in 1990 B.C.
Hint: It's a 24-word phrase with 69 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

The person was born in 2005 B.C. (Before Christ). Therefore, he was 5 years old in 2000 B.C., 10 in 1995 B.C., and 15 in 1990 B.C.

Why this is the answer

The years given are B.C. dates, which count downward, so a birth in 2005 B.C. makes the person 15 in 1990 B.C. and 10 in 1995 B.C.
