Since you don't have a decision many would probably take issue with the "game" of who's younger.

Maybe you could play a game of coin flipping. You can call either heads or tails. That's a game of "pure" luck. But say both people know beforehand that the coin has two heads and no tails. If you call heads you win, if you call tails you lose. That's a game of "pure" skill.
