Thank you for this very tricky question of yours.

Realistically, no one who was born in the year 1818 can be 23 years old in 2017. Even if they were born on the leap year of 29th Feb, they would not be more than 92 years old today.

However, as this is a trick question, it simply means that the woman was born in the Hospital Room No. 1818

since no where does it mention year 1818

Hope that helps!

The first thing to take note of is the fact that the riddle doesn't mention the YEAR OF BIRTH. This therefore means that the no. 1818 can be referring to something else other than the year of birth. 

It is also not possible to live that long, a person born in 1818 would right now be 199 years old that is not possible with the current life span

Therefore, the most logical reasoning is the number 1818 is referring to the room where she was born, this is the only way she can still be alive and at the age of 23.
