Oldest Person in the World dies

[Doctor Q]

My math seems to indicate 41,187 days. But I am not understanding what you mean here. There were 4660 days between January 1 1900 and October 5 1912 that he did not live through, so the number of days he lived since January 1 1900 will be the same as the number of days he has lived since he was born.

I think the math was correct but the English was not. I changed the wording in my post to try to correct that.

Again, using Numbers, it looks to me like you have both dates wrong. The target date should be July 8, 2025, to match January 1, 1800. The second (which is what was perplexing me) appears to be just a typo.

Sister Inah Canabarro, a Brazilian nun, is no longer the worlds oldest person. She was just under a month short of turning 117. The title now belongs to Ethel Caterham, a 115-year-old British woman.

Not the world's oldest person, but pretty darned old {barely a year behind), Fauja Singh was probably the oldest marathon runner.
