Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add
The age you will be this year,

The results will be 111 if born before 31/12/1999

Not that weird (sorry - it's Friday and I was a maths teacher)

last two digits of the year in which you were born plus the age you will be this year

equates to
last two digits of the year in which you were born plus 2011 - year in which you were born

equates to
year in which you were born - 1900 plus 2011 - year in which you were born

equates to
year in which you were born + 111 - year in which you were born

equates to
111

Simples!
