Here's a Monday morning brain teaser to help clear the fog, and kickstart you back into action.

In the current year, 2022, there are people whose age matches the last two digits of the year they were born. What's their age, and what year were they born?

Good luck!

Maybe I don’t understand the riddle and something got lost in translation… 11?

22 and they were born in 2000 ?

For myself, I just needed to erase two 0 between 2000 and 2009 to get my age ;-)

For the age 0 up to 99, the condition is only valid for people born in 2011 or 1961.

The condition cannot be valid for anyone past 100, because ages with 3 digits will never match a 2 digits number.
The condition cannot be valid for anyone before age 0, because they are not people yet.

Algebraically:

2022-year = year-2000
2*year = 4022
year = 2011, age = 11

2022-year = year-1900
2*year = 3922
year = 1961, age = 61
