It’s possible because 1975 refers to the birth year, not the calendar year of death being the same for birth and death in real time as we normally assume.
Here’s the logic:
- She was born in 1975
- She died in 1975 (her death record shows “1975” as a location/year label in the riddle, not the same timeline interpretation)
- She was 22 years old at death
The trick is that “1975” is being used twice in different meanings, not as a simple timeline.
The intended solution:
She was born in a place called “1975” (for example a room number, hospital ward, house number, or code)
and she also died in a place called “1975.”
So:
- 1975 = location of birth
- 1975 = location of death
- Age = 22 years old (normal lifespan)
Simple takeaway:
This is a word/logic riddle using “1975” as a label, not a year.
