47 years old?
Sorry 46 and one day
He’s 45. There is no year 0.
I’m thinking 45 years plus one day.
47 years and 1 day
47 years and 1 day
46 years old
corrected: 45 years
Wouldn’t you have to add the number of years Christ lived? 23 before Christ + years Christ lived + 23 years after death + 1 day = answer?
80 years and a day or 79 years and a day.
Christ lifetime was estimated to about 33 to 34 years old.
KG, you are the winner!
45 years old. There is no year 0 so you can add 23 to 23 but you must subtract one to take year 0 out of consideration: 23 + 23 – 1 = 45 years old. In some cultures people are born 1 years old, in this case they would be 46 years old when they die.
Dude…. Dude? Lol, its all good :p
KDJ – AD means “Anno Domini”. The year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC. This wasnt actually used until some 500+ years later.
Oh, okay. Thanks, didn’t know that. Thought AD mean “after death” since BC means “before Christ”
Weren’t you actually the winner? Crabman?
KDJ, it’s not about winning or losing, it’s about who enjoys the riddles. Until Dude starts offering cash awards anyway ;)
