What year was I born if I'm 11?

2014 or 2015

Anyone who is 11 today, Thursday, September 24, 2026, was born between Thursday, September 25, 2014 and Thursday, September 24, 2015. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.

Which year, exactly

Someone born on Thursday, September 24, 2015 turns 11 today. Someone born a day later, on Friday, September 25, 2015, is still 10 until tomorrow. That is why “what year” has two answers rather than one, and why a birth date rather than a year is what settles it.

Read the other way round: to be exactly 11 today, a date of birth has to fall on or after Thursday, September 25, 2014 and on or before Thursday, September 24, 2015.

There is no 29 February in that window, so everyone who is 11 today has had a birthday every year since they were born. Twenty-five of the hundred ages on this site do span a leap day; this is not one of them.
