2011 - 30 = 81 so that would mean that 1981 -> 81 + 30 = 2011
Nothing creepy about that. The same thing can be accomplished with a tape measure that goes to at least 10 feet.
1). Take the tape measure and pull out 120 inches.
2). Fold the tape over on itself and line up the "0" with the current year (2011).
3). Find your age (30 would be 30 inches).
4). Look at the number that matches up on the opposite side of the tape (it will be the year you were born).
Line up this end,,,,,,,[.............................30.....31.....32.....33.....34.....35..................................,
[Tape Measure].....111...........................81.....80.....79.....78.....77......76..................................)
I hope you can forgive the rudimentary Tape measure above but there is no better way (that I know of) to explain what I mean.
