An 18 year -old Jupiter adult wants license-how old is he/she in Earth years?

Let’s say that humans actually settled on Jupiter and the “United States of Jupiter” adopted the same driving law. If you waited to get your license until you were 18 years old, living on Jupiter your whole life, what would your age be in Earth years?|||Jupiter takes 11.86 years to revolve around the Sun. Thus, 18 Jupiter years is 18*11.86 = 213.48 Earth years.|||A Jupiter year is 11.8623 Earth years, so 18 Jupiter years is over 213 Earth years.|||If Jupiterites adopted the *same* law, then 18 years would be Earth years, not Jupiter years. Ergo, your age would be 18 Earth years...or about 1 1/2 Jupiter years.





No, I don't think you were asking a trick question, but I gave you a trick answer. ;)|||You would be dead.
