Pentester:
42, -7, Yellow, false, null, {{7*‘7’}}
Managers when a tester does this in a planning meeting, asking for more time to write better teats: 😠
Managers when a staff level engineer does this in a post-fuckup root cause analysis meeting telling everyone what went wrong: 🤤
Managers when the tester points out it wouldn’t have happened if tests for it had gotten written:
Probably? Nah mate, your box of stuff, has already been chucked out of the window… You are next

The funny thing is, when I talk to lawyers (of which I am not one) it’s nothing like this, because any human court will understand the intention of the question is arithmetical. It will create legal fictions to paper over affairs, rule the law inapplicable if the sister is dead, and go for lunch.
It seems law is like 90% precisely defined and 10% whatever the courts decide that day. That turns out out to be stable while still fairly immune to edge cases, so it’s stuck for centuries.
I used to have a QA job. Can confirm, this is the soup in my head. That’s why I was good at testing. Also, that’s not your sister. That’s your trans brother, who we also love. See?
import birthday; let myAge1 = 4; let sisterAge1 = 2; let myAge2 = 44; let sisterAge2 = birthday.deriveAge(myAge1, sisterAge1, myAge2); print(sisterAge2);Any bugs should be reported upstream. Please open a tracking issue to sync changes with eventual upstream fixes.
The API has the wrong abstraction and the type definitions fail to capture necessary information (such as in which year you were of the given age) and thus conversions can not be guaranteed to be correct

That’s a good tester.
In my experience coders usually make absolutely terrible testers, testing only for the most inane case, or just positive cases (ie, it does the nominal case without bursting into fire).I’m a programmer and my answer would be more like the tester’s answer.
But okay I also used to be a tester so this comment is probably invalid.
You could also simplify by saying that assuming neither of them are dead, at some point while he is 44 she will be 42. Whether or not she is actually his sister seems to be irrelevant, she was stated to be his sister, so regardless of biological data, it is being presented as a fact assumption.
The space stuff is not currently possible and can be disregarded as well.
Based on the only comparison we have, the OP is twice the age of their sister. so the sister is now 44/2, or 22. Easy problem.
ML in action.
Based on the only information we have, OPs sister is two. So the sister is 2. Trivial.

In a frictionless vacuum
Id hate to experience a vaccum with friction.
Ahhh I’m rubbing up against all this nothing so roughly it feels almost sticky
All I wanted was a cubical day
TIMECUBE!
Time slipping through the fingers with an acceleration of g
Didn’t even consider leap years. Smh
That’s the customer answer, where they give an age in leap years, and everything goes to pot.
Really have to start with a definition of “now”
Real talk: I wish more orgs place a high value on QA. A good QA team is worth it’s weight in gold and helps prevent a lot of stupid mistakes.
