If the year contained a February 29th, then they would be 1 year old and 2 days on the 1st of March...



>>Most people born on February 29th celebrate their birthday on February 28th (don't they?)
>
>That's OK, but we're trying to determine, how old they will be on March 1st the following year. If they be 1 year and 1 day old, it means that the people born on Feb. 28 should be 1 year and 2 days old. Now, it means that they were 1 year old on 28th and are now 1 year and 2 days on 1st.

>This doesn't make sense, so we may assume that both categories will be 1 year and 1 day. But now where is 1 day difference? The 28th born became suddenly one day younger.

>Do you see a paradox and a problem here?
