In THIS obituary they have his age listed as 89/22.5.
Huh?
WAG: 89 years, 22 weeks, five days.
Look at his birthday.
That or he was 3.96 years old.
His birthday was Feb 29 maybe?
Ha ha. Good one!
Wonder why they gave it as 22.5, rather than just 22? Anyway by my reckoning he wouldn’t have been 22.5 until March 1 next year.
I hope I still have a sense of humor at that age. Shoot, I’m older than that already. Wait, no I’m not.
Even though Bud was 89, he only had the maturity of a 22.5 year old.
He was only 22 1/2 years old in Celsius.
Yes:
So there’s your answer. He had been alive 89 years but has had 22 1/2 birthdays (based on leap cycles).
Yup!:smack:
My younger brother figured it out almost immediately!:rolleyes:
A reference to the pirates apprentice in Pirates of Penzance…(Gilbert and Sullivan, “Model of a modern major general” being the famous song from it.)
The protagonist is the apprentice to the pirate, until his 21st BIRTHDAY.
Complication: He was born on 29th of Feb, so he will be 84 (approx) when the apprenticeship contract ends.
