Can you figure out your age?

Well you take the year you were born and work out the difference between that and the year it is now. Thus if you were born on June 21st 1952. and The date today is March 6th 2013 then on June 21st 2013 you will be (2013-1952) = 61 years old However, It is not yet June 21st there is still (the rest of March, April, May and June) and (21-6) = 15 days to go till your birthday. So you are actually 60 years, 8 months and 15 days old.
