About the year 1996
1996 began on a Monday and was a leap year, with 366 days and a 29 February. 11,183 days have passed since 1 January 1996.
Age in whole years only counts the birthday that has already happened. That is why two people born in the same year can be different ages today — and why the answer flips from 29 to 30 on the birthday itself.
