This all assumes all years are measured by the same orbit with no mixing and matching planets or space habitats.
The standard earth year had not been adopted system wide

Managers when a tester does this in a planning meeting, asking for more time to write better teats: π
Managers when a staff level engineer does this in a post-fuckup root cause analysis meeting telling everyone what went wrong: π€€
Managers when the tester points out it wouldn't have happened if tests for it had gotten written:
Probably? Nah mate, your box of stuff, has already been chucked out of the window... You are next
That's a good tester.
In my experience coders usually make absolutely terrible testers, testing only for the most inane case, or just positive cases (ie, it does the nominal case without bursting into fire).
Also, we first have to define more precisely what 'being 2' means. E.g., if we just count birthdays and one of them is born on Feb 29th in a leap year, that person 'ages' with 1/4 of the speed.
This may be why I hated math.
Now thatβs thinking like a lawyer!
The funny thing is, when I talk to lawyers (of which I am not one) it's nothing like this, because any human court will understand the intention of the question is arithmetical. It will create legal fictions to paper over affairs, rule the law inapplicable if the sister is dead, and go for lunch.
It seems law is like 90% precisely defined and 10% whatever the courts decide that day. That turns out out to be stable while still fairly immune to edge cases, so it's stuck for centuries.
You could also simplify by saying that assuming neither of them are dead, at some point while he is 44 she will be 42. Whether or not she is actually his sister seems to be irrelevant, she was stated to be his sister, so regardless of biological data, it is being presented as a fact assumption.
The space stuff is not currently possible and can be disregarded as well.
Ugh, this is what you get when there's no AC.
