Maybe you're talking of BCE. The person born in 1985 BCE is older than the one born in 1975 BCE.
Every other answer talking about room number and location are just assumptions as well

They are not blood brothers, but are rather brothers adopted at different times with the younger brother adopted first and the older brother adopted second. Which makes the younger brother his senior in terms of that house

Simple! The older brother was born in1985BC and the younger brother was born in 1975AD... Oldest riddle in the book
You tried but both had to be in BCE to be possible.

The oldest was born in Room 1985, while the youngest was born in Room 1975.

It’s either house number or hospital room number.

That would assume their parent(s) lived for almost four thousand years.
Bad answer.

The older brother was born in 1985 in the Ethiopian calendar:

The Ethiopian calendar is roughly 7-8 years behind the Gregorian calendar. So, if someone was born in 1985 in the Ethiopian calendar, it would be 1992 or 1993 in the Gregorian calendar.
The younger brother was born in 1975 in the Gregorian calendar:

This is straightforward, as we use the Gregorian calendar.
Given this, the older brother (1985 in the Ethiopian calendar) could indeed be born after the younger brother (1975 in the Gregorian calendar), making the seemingly impossible scenario possible through different calendar systems.

The riddle didn't say that 1985 and 1975 were the years.
So they could possibly mean the time in GMT
That is 19hrs: 8min: 5sec. So it also means that younger one was born in 19hrs 7min 5sec.
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by youngrichnigga: 1:34pm On May 31, 2024
They were both born in a hospital with peculiar room numbering system. The elder of the brothers was born in room 1985 while the younger brother was delivered in room 1975 cool cool cool

No, the guy actually has a point by saying "location" just that he went on typing unrelated things. He was probably tipsy grin

1985 and 1975 are locations not year, bring it to Nigeria, how can a country be socialist, communist and yet claim to be a federal republic .

Niger delta generates the fund which through an advanced communisim is shared to 36 state using metrics that encourage annihilism and yet the country is supposed to be an advanced capitalist.
this is very sad bro. The sad thing is the crude oil doesn't last forever. Someday our descendants will curse us.
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by MightySparrow: 1:36pm On May 31, 2024
It was only possible if they were both born in BCE.



There we count from infinity past to zero.


Have you thought about it that Jesus was born 4 BCE and Julius Caesar 100 BCE and died 44 BCE. Who is older?

Augustus Caeser was ruling in the time of Jesus's birth after the death of Julius Caesar.

Those were there birth time precisely.
Young one was born 6:85.
Older was born 5:75
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by Evans20: 1:37pm On May 31, 2024
The older one sold his birth rights to the younger one
For example some people are older than their uncles because the senior brother had children before their last born was born

Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by francanthony(m): 1:40pm On May 31, 2024
you can't tell if one is a genius from a riddle, a riddle is a trick. Logic proves genius not tricks.

well, let me offer my own conclusion/solution for the riddle; the one born in 1975 died young unfortunately, but the one born in 1985 is as of today 39 years old.
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by KosiGee(m): 1:40pm On May 31, 2024
Riddle made no sense.
Two brothers or twins??

Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by Greenfusion: 1:42pm On May 31, 2024
This is just english......IN indicates location, hence, 1985 and 1975 are locations which makes it a valid statement.
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by Ddensity: 1:43pm On May 31, 2024
The question said "older brother" was born in 1985. The other one is not the brother but a different person. The younger brother's age wasn't stated
Re: Whoever Can Solve This Riddle Is A Genius by streetpaddy(m): 1:43pm On May 31, 2024
chymeze:

The answer lies in the fact that the question doesn't specify that the brothers are human. Therefore, it's possible that the older brother was born in 1985 and the younger brother was born in 1975 if they are twins, but one of them is a leap year baby! You see, 1975 and 1985 are 10 years apart, which is exactly the interval between two leap years (1976 and 1984). So, the younger brother could have been born on February 29, 1976, and the older brother on February 28, 1984, or vice versa!

Am I correct?

So you're telling me the brother born in 1985BC is 3960 years older than his sibling? Even Methuselah never lived that long. How possible is it to have a brother whom you're older than by that number of years? Even your ancestor up to the 50th generation cannot have a sibling that still lives. Be practical in your response lol
it's a riddle not logic nigga

The older brother was initially born before 1975 but became born again in 1985.
