Thanks, NS, I was just about to post the same thing.

It’s just basic linear arithmetic. Your birth year plus your age always equals the current year after your birthday.

Age = Current Year - Birth Year

Birth Year + Age = Current Year

It isn’t a magic trick or a rare calendar phenomenon.

I had to try it

If you haven't had your birthday yet this year, your birth year plus your current age will actually add up to 2025 (the previous year).

Obviously age plus birth year will always be current year if you've had your birthday

1000 years is just trying to mask the hoax!

Well, it amazed me, anyway! I checked it with 4 in this family.

If you add your age to your birth year, it will add up to 2026.
Apparently it happens only every thousand years.
