Riddle: This woman was born in 1975

We all love small logic  puzzles: they make us think, they entertain us… or make us dizzy! This, in particular, has been circulating on the internet for years, causing misunderstandings wherever it goes. And for good reason: appearances can be deceiving.

The opening sentence seems illogical: a woman was born and died in 1975, but would she be 22 years old? Unless you’re a time traveler (and even then!), it seems impossible. So, of course, we come up with explanations. A typo? A different calendar? We’re complicating things… when the answer is much simpler than we think.
