What year was I born if I'm 11?

2014 or 2015

Anyone who is 11 today, Friday, November 13, 2026, was born between Friday, November 14, 2014 and Friday, November 13, 2015. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.

Which year, exactly

Someone born on Friday, November 13, 2015 turns 11 today. Someone born a day later, on Saturday, November 14, 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 Friday, November 14, 2014 and on or before Friday, November 13, 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.
