Source Puzzle: The Birthday Mystery, Puzzleland, unknown date
A girl’s age appears to jump from 13 to 15 because her birthday falls on December 31, and the puzzle is told on January 1, so she was 13 on her last birthday (Dec 31), turned 14 on New Year’s Day, and will be 15 on her next birthday (Dec 31).
In simple terms: Age seems to skip a year due to New Year’s timing.
