    Question

    Assume for the purpose of this question, some biological humans are still alive on January 1st 2200. In that case, consider the oldest confirmed biological human alive at the start of that day. When will they have been born?

    If there are no biological humans alive on January 1st, 2200, this question resolves ambiguously.
