When a car crashes in the middle of the lap 3, it made 2.5 laps starting from the beginning point, which is in this case, the starting/finishing Line. And absolutely not 3.5... You're making the mistake i mentionned with the beginning point. Year 1 is not the year that begins when one year has passed since the beginning point, it is the first year starting immediatly after the beginning point. |
Exactly a car crash in the middle of lap 3 is indeed 2.5 laps from the beginning point. I never said in THIS CASE that it would be 3.5
I say that if you are born in July 1900 you are born INSIDE the 1901st year but the 1901st year is NOT complete since you are ONLY in the middle of it ok? but once 1900 is FULLY FINISHED you arrive in 1901 (as in 1901 complete years having passed) and you begin the 1902nd year which you call 1901 cause the 1902nd year is NOT COMPLETE, you see?
Your mistake is to assume that July 1900 is the middle of the 1900th year when in fact it's the 1901st year. When you say January 1, 1900 it means that mathematically speaking 1900 years have PASSED, so you are BEGINNING the 1901st year which you call 1900, do you see what I mean?
