Centuries Old
I met a woman in a store. She said that she lived through 3 centuries, but that she was slightly more than 100 years old. She wasn't lying, but how can this be?
Answer
She was born at the end of one century, lived through a full one, and was currently living in the beginning of the 3rd. (Example: Born in 1899, lived 1900-1999, living in 2000-2003.)Hide Answer Show Answer
