Appendix SAYS... (even from memory, I had noted this once)
March 1 was when Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli met Gandalf the White in Fanghorn Forest... so he was 88 at Helm's Deep. Maybe with everything going on, it just slipped Aragorn's mind that he had turned 88! Or maybe he thought his chances with Eowyn were better if he claimed he was "only" 87...
(ed: haven't seen it yet - and trying not to read too much here - so don't know if I have the context wrong here - and don't want to find out yet... until I get to watch it!
