this year's mystery ...

This year is bizarre - four dates with nothing but 1s in them (based on the format dd/mm/yy). You'll figure then out, here's one: 1/11/11.

If you take the last two digits of the four digit year your were born, and add it to the age you will be this year, you'll get 111.

Now, some mathematician can explain why, that would be nice!

[nitpick]One has to assume suppression of leading zeroes for it to work, otherwise you would get 01/01/11 for exaample.[/nitpick]

[pedant]OK, how about Salt Water, a solution of sodium chloride (salt) in water, water being the solvent and salt the sollute.[/pedant]
