A friend of mine who turns 49 this year (2025) was born (of course) in 1976. I noticed that I will turn 76 this year and that I was born in 1949. If we ignore the '19' in our years of birth then our years of birth can be written as '76 and '49. The "coincidence" then is that we have this '76 and 49 versus '49 and 76 switching of the numbers.
As I explained to my friend:
Taken to the extreme, I will turn 99 in 2048 in the unlikely event that I make it that far. Someone born in 1999 will turn 49 in this same year and so we have '99 and 49 versus '49 and 99. It doesn't hold in my case for people born in 2000 and beyond.
