Re: How old are you?
I'm 14.
I'm surprised though. Usually, on forums, I'm one of the oldest, while here, I'm one of the youngest.

Re: How old are you?
Not trying to decode every line, but we've got the basics to figure out (or get close to) your birthday.Detective Tommy wrote: Here is a riddle to help you figure out when my birthday is and my age!
(It's really lame, and might be really really stupid...)
Head over to Google, where the web isn't lame.
According to my Indian and Hindu baby name.
I often go fishing, in the sea that is green.
And my lucky birthstone is aquamarine.
My lucky numbers are in the month and day.
My lucky day of 2009 is on a weekday I must say.
My very first birthday, the first of the weekday.
The day I was born at age 0, had started the week.
The dog I desire must not be mean or be weak.
The one I received, came 11th in the race.
It made a quick stop to Neptune, and in no haste.
I am very interested, the myths of the Greek.
Search for the info, find it if you seek.
Going down to the 12th floor is not important.
But every other floor contains a great hint.
Solve this riddle to find my birthday and age.
It is quite simple, so don't at all act in rage.
I am compassionate, selfless, sympathetic and carefree.
Intuitive, artistic, joyful and imaginative all describe me.
Whoever explains each line/phrase correctly will win a very special prize.
And will also know my true age and birthday. *Edit*
Aquamarine birthstone: March
"Lucky Numbers": Age - 2-digits, so likely 13 or 23 (we know one of them is a "3" based on him saying it's in the month/day)
2009 b-day on a weekday: Mon-Fri
First birthday: Monday
Born on: Sunday (meaning, the year he turned 1 wasn't a leap year)
"dog I desire": Chinese astrology? If so, sounds like he's either a Dog or his best match is a Dog
11th in the race: Astrology; probably Chinese again, because Pisces is 12th of the Western Zodiacs. Dog is 11th in Chinese, so probably means he's a Dog.
The last three Dog years: 2006 (impossible, he'd only be 4), 1994 (he'd be 16), 1982 (he'd be 28)
Assuming his age is either 23 or 13, he would have to be either Rabbit (born in 1987) or Ox (born in 1997).
But he can't be born in 1987, because 1988 was a leap year. Meaning he was born in March of 1997. Meaning he's 13 years old.
Now, for his birthday:
He was born in March, and we already know he's a Pisces because he said he said in the This or That thread, which I found to be Pisces. Okay, that means he was born roughly Mar 1-20. And in 2009 his birthday was a weekday.
Weekdays:
2,3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,13,16,17,18,19,20
-Now, we found the '3' in the month, leaving us to find the 1, so it can't be 2,3,4,5,6,9,20
10,11,12,13,16,17,18,19
And we know he was born on a Sunday in March of 97. The Sundays that year were:
2,9,16,23,30
We know it can't be 23 or 30 because they're outside of the Pisces timeline. And it can't be 2 or 9 because neither of those have the 1.
Thus, Detective Tommy's birthday is March 16, 1997.
He is 13 years old.

Yeah, apparently they don't count as a valid reason. Poor Ako-chan.

I did go through all the other ages guessed, and none of those worked out either, so if my answer to the riddle is wrong, then apparently he worded it wrong.

WITHOUT decoding everything, you won't be able to figure it out.
Because the first two lines of the riddle holds the key to the answer.
You misinterpret "lucky numbers are in the month and day", giving you a false answer.
I'm reading through it again to make sure I didn't word anything badly.
If I realized I did, I'll post a fixed riddle.
I had to make it rhyme.

Re: How old are you?
I'll hint what I mean by this.
"My lucky numbers are in the month and day."
It literally means that my birthday (month #) & (day #) are my lucky numbers.
Earlier, I said that one of my lucky numbers is IN my age.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
