A woman was born in 1916, but she just celebrated her 26th birthday in 2020. Explain how this is possible using just two words. (Hint: use lower case letters only).

Her date of birth is 29 Feb. The date 29 Feb comes every four years. A leap year ( in which another day of Feb .i.e 29 Feb is included) comes once in 4 years. So in a century it would come 25 times and another time in the next four years.

Birth year : 1916

Current Year : 2020

Difference: 104 years

Leap year comes every four years. So in 104 years it would come 26 times

= 104/4= 26

She just celebrated her 26th birthday in 2020.

The woman is celebrating her 26th birthday in 2020 because she was born on the 29th of February 1916.

The year 1916 was a leap year which means that it had an extra day on February 29.

Assuming the woman in question was born on February 29th, that means she celebrates her birthday once every 4 years on another leap year.

Since 1916, there have been 26 leap years including 2020. This means that in 2020, the woman would indeed be celebrating her 26th birthday.

In conclusion, the woman may be 104 years old (2020 - 1916) but because she was born on the 29th of February, she is only just celebrating her 26th birthday.

NB: The two words in question are Leap Year.
