Is Tetris younger than I am by almost a month, or am I older than Tetris by almost a month? :-)

teh.f4ll3n writes "25 years ago a Russian (Soviet) researcher thought of
one of the world's most popular games. It is now that we celebrate its
[0]25th anniversary. 'Twenty-five years ago, inside the bowels of the
Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow, a young artificial intelligence
researcher received his first desktop computer — the Soviet-built
Elektronika 60, a copy of an American minicomputer called a PDP-11 — and
began writing programs for it.'"
