Many years ago, I made the following statement:
"Four days ago, I was only 34,
but next year I'll be 37."
When is my birthday?
Give all possibilities.
Solution to the Problem:
My birthday must fall on December 29, December 30, or December 31.
"Today" must be January 1, 2, or 3.
Then four days ago would be December 28, 29, or 30 of the previous year, when I was 34.
My birthday would be either December 29, December 30, or December 31 when I turned 35.
Then I would turn 36 on that day in the current year, and I would be 37 the next year.
