Everyone I've ever met had an age which is only one number. Did your age use to be a 3D vector? And now it's... a quaternion?

2 makes sense
assuming "age" means years since birth and "numbers" means digits, op would be younger than 8

Oof. When I first read this posts my mind was somehow reading “base 2” as “base 10” and I just couldn’t wrap my mind around what I was seeing. Sleep has made everything make sense
I read it as days, so 2.73 years. Or months, 83.33 years.
That thing where some mothers say "oh he/she's X days/months old" for kids that are way beyond where that's relevant.
Life took a dark turn after 999
Like 100?
420 is the highest age.
