Not being a child, I originally stopped reading at todayno 2014 9 2014 because that sentence did not make sense to me. And once that happens, code ceases to be interesting for me.
I also must admit to being baffled by the later requirements. That said, age=: - would work for your stated problem and for some people's birthdays (including mine). Actually, without some way of checking the results, I doubt many children could distinguish between that solution and a correct solution. Anyways, I'm going to confess puzzlement at your approach.
