The way I figure it is that there was no year "0". The sequence went goes: 2 BC, 1 BC, 1 AD, 2 AD. I also doubt that there was a neutral "1" between 1 BC and 1 AD. Therfore from: 10 BC to 1 BC is 9 years, from 1 BC to 1 AD is 1 year, and from 1 AD to 10 AD is 9 years. Total is 19 years old. -------------- Anyone ready for another: Twins are born 10 minutes apart. However one year, the "older" twin celebrates his birthday 2 days AFTER the "younger" twin celebrates his. How is that possible?
