Paul is 20 years old in 1980, but only 15 years old in 1985. How is this possible?

Good luck and have fun! :D

 

He's born in 1985 and he'd be 20 if he was born 5 years earlier.

 

It is possible for Paul to be 15 after being 20 because the years are in B.C., not A.D. Based on the system we use to number the years, the years counted down in B.C.
So I'm guessing it's in B.C.

 

Ok, I'll have another crack.
Paul is 20 years old in 1980 BC.
Paul is 15 years old in 1985 BC.
We used different time systems then.

 

Man you are getting close

 

Paul's real name is Benjamin Button.

 

xD Not quite the answer I was looking for :P

 

The dates are BC. That's my final answer

 

Okie Doki

 

They didn't count backwards, but the years did?

 

He was 20 years old in 1980 B.C, and 15 years old in 1985 B.C
Before Common Era' the years go 'backwards' as it proceeds to the future..

 

Googled.
