    I hope I die an old man in my 40s.

    Wait, what do the white ones represent?

      I think I got it. White represents 3 years and the black is a single-year decade marker. The first 3 white beads represent 9 years, and Death is moving over a black bead, which is the 10th year (one decade complete).

      According to the beads, the kid just turned 10 and will live for 46 years.

        Hey that works! I thought death was moving it the other direction, with just 3 more units to go.
