What do you think about the fact that if you were born in the 20th century, you shared the century with people born in the 1700s?

[RyanEC]

This is Margaret Ann Neve she lived from 1792 to 1903.

If you were born in 1999 you born in the same century that someone born in the 1700s lived in.

I was born in the 21st century and I'm sure there have been people born in the 19th century alive whilst I was - I actually just searched this up and found Emma Morano 1899-2017, it's amazing when people have survived so much

[RyanEC]

Yes that’s true.
Kind of makes me wonder how old the last person alive from the 20th century will be.

[Avicenna]

Well, that's pretty incredible, but kind of stretch since someone born in 1999 was born three generations after she died in 1903

[KostasKouvalis]

20th century was 1900s.

What? HOW? No one like that is alive right now

[RyanEC]

1999 was the 20th century.
I was born in 1990 so I was born In the 20th century.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yes yes, 1900s. That's what I said. Always subtract 1 from the century to get the year range.
There is no one left alive from was born in the 1700s. I don't even think there's anyone left alive born in the 1800s

[RyanEC]

True the last person alive in the 1800s died in 2017.

[RyanEC]

The oldest person alive right now was born in 1904, one year after the last person alive in the 1700s died.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yes yes
