Talk:Leapling

The page states that "leaplings will celebrate a golden birthday only in the year they turn 116." This conflicts with the definition at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_birthday as "the day when the age one turns and the date of birth coincide (e.g. someone turning 20 on September 20th celebrates his golden birthday)." By this definition, those born on a leap day simply will not have a golden birthday. (They're born on February 29, not February 116).

I think the "point" that's trying to be made is after 116 years they'll have only had 29 "birthdays". Ewlyahoocom 17:37, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But that is not the definition of 'golden birthday'. Therefore, in my opinion, the sentence is just incorrect. It is correct to say that those born on a leap day simply will not have a golden birthday. I myself was rather confused by this erroneous sentence upon following a link to this article. 202.156.6.54 09:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of a Golden Birthday is when a person's celebrated birthday equals the date on which he or she was born. I have edited the article to show the simple mathematical equation which proves the theory.chanemza 03:13, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
