Month: June 2024

Today is the day to celebrate. In other words, I am officially two-thirds of a century old.

That means that as of today I passed the 66.666666666666... line and now live in the last third of my life (assuming of course that I manage to live 100 years).

I don't think that there are that many people who are aware of this spectacular milestone

Those who manage to live this long are more than likely to miss out on remembering this amazing accomplishment.

I on the other hand feel very thankful that I can enjoy this day knowing that yet another important milestone in my live has been achieved.

So you wonder, how do I know this?

I know this thanks to good old ChatGPT.

Here follows the question I asked, the response I received and the code snippet analysis.

Question:

I was born on October 11, 1957. When will I be exactly 66 2/3 years old?

Answer:

You will be exactly 66 2/3 years old on June 11, 2024. ​

Analysis:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# User's birthdate
birthdate = datetime(1957, 10, 11)

# 66 2/3 years in days
years = 66 + 2/3
days_in_year = 365.25  # accounting for leap years on average
days = years * days_in_year

# Calculate the date when the user will be 66 2/3 years old
target_date = birthdate + timedelta(days=days)
target_date

Result:

datetime.datetime(2024, 6, 11, 0, 0)
