Very Possible if there were born during the BC era(BCE).

So someone born in 1975BCE was born (2023+ 1975) = 3998 years ago

and he is therefore younger than someone born in 1985BCE,which is (2023+1985) =. 4008 Years ago


QED.

The numbers 1985 and 1975 may not be referring to years. The numbers could be places or locations.

Thephilosopher1:


When someone is speaking and says, in 1985, is the person talking about time or place?
It refers to time, but in the other context it is referred to location....for it to be referred to date you use "on"

1985 and 1975 are locations not year, bring it to Nigeria, how can a country be socialist, communist and yet claim to be a federal republic .

Niger delta generates the fund which through an advanced communisim is shared to 36 state using metrics that encourage annihilism and yet the country is supposed to be an advanced capitalist. I

It seems the niger Delta is happy with it as their governor's aren't complaining 🤷. Plus what have the nigerdelta done with the 13% derivation they receive? NOTHING

There are a few possibilities for how a younger sibling could be born before an older sibling:
* Adoption: The younger brother could have been adopted before the older brother was born.
* Half-siblings: The brothers could have different biological mothers. The younger brother could be from a previous relationship of their father.
* Twins with different birthdates: In very rare cases, twins can be born on different days, even different years. This can happen if the gestation period is very long for one twin or if there are complications during delivery.

Ahhh....error, but in this context its correct for the puzzle abeg....

There were two brothers, the elder was born on march 5th, 1985, and the younger was born on march 6th, 1975.

There were two brothers, the elder was born in 1985(Benin), and the younger was born in 1975(Lagos),

I hope you get my point
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by Teymanhenry(f): 5:37pm On May 31
When we look at the numerical value of the birth years, the "older" brother was born in 1985, which is a larger number than 1975, the year the "younger" brother was born. This means that the "older" brother was born in a more recent year but still has a larger birth year value.
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by andy4d2ofus(m): 5:47pm On May 31
The scenario you described is indeed unusual at first glance. However, it is possible if we consider different calendar systems. For instance, if the older brother was born in 1985 according to the Gregorian calendar (the calendar most commonly used today), and the younger brother was born in 1975 according to a different calendar system (such as the Ethiopian calendar, the Buddhist calendar, the Hebrew calendar, or any other calendar that does not align exactly with the Gregorian calendar), this discrepancy can occur.

Another possibility is that the years refer to different events in their lives, such as the year one brother was born and the year another brother was adopted or immigrated to a new country. But the most likely explanation is the use of different calendar systems.

Why add the suffix, when none was added in the original question.?
So if none is added, should we assume that it is AD? Since it is a riddle, we are allowed to add what will make it have an answer. So I go with the person you quoted?

The answer is that "it is not possible". The possibility is zero. Final answer
it's highly possible. They could be brother in-law, the 1975 and 1985 could be hospital room numbers or even a designated place.

The riddle can be solved by considering the interpretation of the terms "older" "younger". In this context older" and "younger" are referring to the time they were born, not and their ages So, the brother born in 1985 ls "older" because he came into existence earlier in the timeline (1985 comes before 1975), and the brother born in 1975 is younger because he came into existence later in the timeline (1975 comes after 1985). This is a play on words and expectations as we usually associate "older" with being of a greater age, and "younger"' with being of a lesser age. But In this riddle, it's about the order of their birth, not their ages. So, it is indeed possible for the "older" brother to be born in 1985 and the "younger" one in 1975. It's a clever riddle!

Those numbers indicate where they were born not when they were born
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by Ubanz: 11:30pm On May 31
It's the location of the hospital where they were born.
The younger one was born in a hospital located in plot 1975 and the older one was born in another hospital located in plot 1985

So you're telling me the brother born in 1985BC is 3960 years older than his sibling? Even Methuselah never lived that long. How possible is it to have a brother whom you're older than by that number of years? Even your ancestor up to the 50th generation cannot have a sibling that still lives. Be practical in your response lol

What's the answer
