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:It refers to time, but in the other context it is referred to location....for it to be referred to date you use "on" |

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. |

Houseontherock1: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 |

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. |

Freezyhot: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? |

omotommy84:Another dimension to look at it. |
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by MrPaul2: 6:53pm On May 31 |
TDIsaac: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! |

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 1 Like |

Older brother born in 1985 i.e, 1st September, 85 years ago; younger brother born in 1975 i.e 1st September, 75years ago. |
