I'm no mathematical genius, but it seems quite obvious to me that if you're trying to combine the ages of *two* living people, you can't just combine their ages and insert an age counter starting from a date that would produce that age. That's because if you have two living people, then for every day that passes, the combined age should increase by two days. You can see that this is wrong just by looking at the looking at the article now (112 years, 57 days + 112 years, 57 days does not equal 224 years, 57 days).

Does anyone know if it's possible to insert an age counter that can account for this?
