What year was I born if I'm 3?

2022 or 2023

Anyone who is 3 today, Friday, November 13, 2026, was born between Monday, November 14, 2022 and Monday, November 13, 2023. The boundary falls in the middle of the year, so the answer spans two of them.

Which year, exactly

Someone born on Monday, November 13, 2023 turns 3 today. Someone born a day later, on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, is still 2 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 3 today, a date of birth has to fall on or after Monday, November 14, 2022 and on or before Monday, November 13, 2023.

There is no 29 February in that window, so everyone who is 3 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.
