3 Years in One? (Posted on 2003-05-27) Difficulty: 3 of 5
At a party, the guest of honor stood up to make an anouncement. She said:

"The day before yesterday i was only fourteen. Next year, I will be 17."

How is this possible?

Today is january first. her birthday is december 31st. so the day before yesterday, she was fourteen. yesterday she was fifteen. this year, one dec. 31st, she will be 16, and next year, again on dec. 31st, she will turn 17, thus, next year she will be 17, when only the day before yesterday she was 14.
