    I mean, equally as easy to split the equation. Born in 1999? Subtract current year from 1990. Then subtract 9. Easy.

        If you don’t see a difference between “do the tens, then do a simple subtraction with digits between 1 - 9” and dividing an arbitrary number by four, then there is no sense arguing. Also it would lead to bad results in your example - the average number of legs a sheep has isn’t 4.
