As of today, I am officially The 30 Year Old Virgin. :-S
On the up-side, I have about 40 CDs in front of ym, and they're all full
of 1950s-era rock and roll insanity. ;-)

Happy birthday!
My age is the sum of the digits of my birth year. Figure that out before
December comes and I forever lose the ability to say that :)

Heh. Sounds like a perfect age. ;-)
So you were either born in 1986 or 2004. :-P

Neither.
He's given all the information needed for a single unambiguous answer;
you have to use *all* the clues though...

2010 - 1986 = 24 = 1+9+8+6
2010 - 2004 = 6 = 2+0+0+4
Surely my math isn't that bad?

I guess now we see why I have the lowest IQ on povray.off-topic. :-/

There were some disappointments, but overall it's been a fun four days.

No, but your assumptions are. Just because you were born in 1986 doesn't
mean you are 24 years old...

Ah yes, I forgot the possibility of relativistic time dilation...

I would suspect that almost exactly three quarters of people born in 1986
are 23, not 24.

So he is 23 now and will turn 24 in december. Sometimes I have a feeling
that you are playing silly on purpose. Let's hope so.

He said that his age *is* the sum of the digits now, and will *stop*
being so in December, so that would make him 24 now, wouldn't it?

If he is 24 now and turns 25 in December, that means he was born in 1985.
1+9+8+5 != 24

I give up. Clearly I'm too stupid to figure this out.

You just forgot a "-1" in your calculation of age, when the person hasn't
had their birthday yet this year:
currentAge = 2010 - birthYear - 1
With that correction it should be pretty trivial to solve for the age using
whatever method you originally used.

Since the guy said that in December it would cease to be the case, I
presumed he ment because at the end of December the year will change.
Still, you're talking to somebody who blatantly can't tell the time. I
frequently misread my watch so I get a time that's off by one hour
either way. When I calculate time intervals there's often an error of
one somewhere. (One minute is usually unimportant, but getting something
wrong by an hour is usually a BIG DEAL.)

In that case he would have said 'after December'. Besides what year it
is now or then is irrelevant, it is about his current age and his year
of birth. Whether it is 2010 or 2011 after december is therefore totally
irrelevant.
Back to the drawing board for you (the one at your school).

yay! Now do yourself a favor and pay an experienced pro to lend you a
hand, a pair of boobs and way more to enter the 30's in style! You
don't even need to be shy, you can be sure they've already dealt with
way more bizarre people than simply a computer geek.

Even better than a good day is several good days. :-)

1+9+9+0 = 19
Turn 20 in mid-December.

Yes, funnily enough that also happened to me a few years ago, also when I
was 19!
