Age does make a difference


I always believed that being the youngest boy in the class I had an advantage over others because I get to learn what my age group learns a year earlier.
But recently I realized it is not always true.
I would have been at an advantage provided I learned with the present set and competed with my age group set.
In general in any class you have a deviation of one year from the mean. This difference can be a lot when you are an outlier in the set.
Since you know this now its time you can decide which set you want to compete with. Winning is about mitigating failure.
