That is the beauty of Jesmath. It is not mathematical.

Those that were captured in the Battle of the Bulge went through
some terrible times. I hope he came out all right.

No. Really pretty simple. If you are just going to give the
age in years, you simply round to the nearest year, which would
refer to a player 22 years and ten months old as a 23-year-old.
When you are looking to have comparisons of players based on
age, grouping them in that manner makes more sense to me than it
does to refer to player A as 21 when he is 21 years and 11
months and 29 days old to compare him with player B who is three
days older, but referred to as 22. Referring the first player
as 21 and the second player as 22 suggests that player A has a
full year of additional development to catch up to or pass
player B, though he would actually have 3 days.
Unfortunately, that is combined with simply some pretty rotten
math in calculated a players age by ANY system and errors by any
standard.
Happens.

I honestly get what your saying...when i was in high school and
folks would ask me the time, i'd say 11:27:55, cuz it seemed to
me at the time it was closer to 11:28 than 11:27, and what i
said was about to be wrong...yes i thought too much then. lol
there really isn't a way to get around the age
comparisons...when you use as big a measure of time as a year,
even trying to change it around is going to provide new holes,
but i do get what your doing. using your method, just change
the months to the half years, and you have the same problem.

It didn't help when someone pointed it out and my explanation
was "enhanced" by several miscalculations which resulted from an
inability to perform simple math to determine player ages on any
system, "jesmath" or otherwise.
