I don't understand this comment. They already know their age, what
does it mean to try to "put their own age as close to the comparison
age as they can"? The only thing I can read from this comment is that
Vlad probably isn't younger than 31, otherwise he'd think "two-thirds"
as the closest simple fraction instead of "half." Even that isn't
completely certain though--Vlad isn't necessarily so math minded that
picking an insufficiently precise fraction would bother him.
