I was born on 26/9/1972

If you add 2+6+9+1+9+7+2 you get 36.

I will be 36 in 2008.

So, I recon 2008 will be my year!

My wife was born 27/4/1969

If you add 2+7+4+1+9+6+9 you get 38.

Deb is 38 this year, so this must be HER year!

We worked that out at Xmas, and it freaked us out. I don't know why, but if we'd have done those sums at any other time, it wouldn't have made sense!

Here's another one for you - I should have maybe included this in my original post, but here goes:

My missus' birthday is in December
My eldest sister's birthday is in January
My youngest sister's birthday is in February
My birthday is in March
My mum's birthday is in April
My step-dad's birthday is in May
My dad's birthday is in June
My middle sister's birthday is in July

I can't remember when my step-mum's birthday is, but I'm sure it's not August -September 'cos that would have been sweeeeet lol

Hmm my maths only goes up to A level standard and that was a long time ago lol .
I work it out to 1 in 51 480, so if anyone can show the working-out of this - I would appreciate it .

i did the maths for it again last night and it turns out i meant more like 13,000 than 14,000. and yes, your 51480 is perfectly correct. it just depends on what you consider a legaln set-up. in the game we play we will accept 4 set ups as legal set-ups. so the 13,000 is just that 51,480 divided by 4.
