Might have some FLL and JFLL kids who would argue with you. (And assuming we have no supercentenarian present)
Though I would agree that (<Birth year suffix> + <Age>) mod 100 = 11. But then, this is easily generalized to (<Birth year suffix> + <Age>) mod 100 = <Current year suffix>, so we know that date-math, in fact, holds to general mathematical principles, given that <Age> is defined as <Current year> - <Birth year>.
Definitely some fun facts, though! The 11:11 believers will be happy this year...
