A man dies of old age on his 25th birthday.

How is this possible?


Think you know the answer?

To see the answer to the question, click to expand the accordion below.

The 25 year old man was born on February 29th, which makes him a leap year baby.

Because he was born on Leap Day, he only had a birthday every 4 years, which technically makes him 25 years old, but he has lived for 100 years. That would make his death by old age more reasonable.
