My age will be a power of 2. This hasn't happened since I was a teenager!

My age is already a power of 2. It's 2^4.8 ;-)

Oh... you meant an *integer* power of 2? Commiserations...

Again, if you only allow years as a measurement of age. If it is in 
months you would be just under 21 1/3 year, in weeks you would be just 
over 39 1/3 years. etc.

In short, a puzzle that can only be solved by using knowledge about 
measuring time in humans and assuming that a) you are human and b) 
you're not a geek (unlike me, exhibit A: my October 26th post)

Geeks would still use years to measure age. But not necessarily Earth years.

Happy binaryday, enjoy it.  That won't happen again until you almost 
retired.
