The other day, Jim excitedly told me, "Did you realise I will turn x years old in the year x^2?"
He wasn't the first to think of this. The 19th century mathematician August de Morgan used to used to boast that he was x years old in the year x^2. He died in 1871.
In what year was Jim born? When will his prediction be true? In what year was de Morgan born? What is x in each case?

Well you are trying to say that a person can never be 111 years old ?
If that is so then my solution is wrong but if you agree that, yes, a person can be 111 years old, then I think there is nothing wrong with the second possibility.
