Day 219

Gahhhh!

This has always annoyed me! It confuses me to no end.
Take a look at today's donated T-shirt from print company Custom Ink.

Unless I'm greatly mistaken this T-shirt is using all of its might to promote Huntingtown High School's class of '15, presumably referring to the year 2015.
But here's the kicker...
It's 2013.
2015 hasn't happened yet.
It's not going to happen for another year and a half, so how is it possible that a class of that year has already formed?
Are high school kids in America known for their time travelling capabilities? If so, that certainly explains Spielberg's choice of setting for the first Back To Future movie.

Either Huntingtown High School have been extremely efficient in ordering T-shirt stock for its upcoming leavers, or the Class of '15 is actually a current batch of kids who's graduating year will fall on 2015. 'Class of' must then mean 'the people who were around the three or four years leading up to'. Which is confusing.

If that is the case, riddle me this -
Back on Day 205 I was wearing yet another 'Class of' tee donated to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge by Custom Ink, only this time the magic number was '13. If that '13 referred to the year those kids were planning to finish school and the T-shirt was needed as early as two years prior, that T-shirt had been lying dormant around the Custom Ink offices for nearly two years before it got sent to me; that can't be right surely?

Now I'm not sure what to think.
My mind is actually slurring under the strain of working it out as I type this - I've always been hopeless at maths.

At least the statement printed on the back makes sense - "On a scale of 1 to 10, we're a 15".

Wait. What?
