Suzie Was Nine...

This should probably be in the logic category
Apparently someone took note! Good one
seen it a billion times, but i like the name Suzie better than all the other names i've heard in this riddle, so good job.
Good one!
woo hoo I finally got something right this morning!
Yes....took time to work through, but it was easy getting there.
very interesting
Hahaha! That's a good one. Baffled me, but had a d'oh moment after I saw the answer.
Though she wasn't actually nine on the 30th. A person doesn't age a year on their birthday. (Okay, so I'm picky!)
How is it that SPUTNIK2 has commented on like every teaser there is on this website. This person has way too much time on their hands. I will paste this comment into every comment board where I see SPUTNIK2 has commented. Why am I doing this, you ask? Because I feel like it. Deal with it.
i loved it! I heard it before though, so i knew it had SOMETHING to do with December 31 and January 1!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!
hah -- I was guessing that Suzie was some kind of animal. good one!
