“After the banishment of the ethnarch Herod Archelaus in 6 AD, Iudaea (the conglomeration of Samaria, Judea and Idumea) came under direct Roman administration with Coponius as prefect; at the same time Quirinius was appointed Legate of Syria, with instructions to assess Iudea Province for taxation purposes.[8] One of his first duties was to carry out a census as part of this.[9]
The Jews already hated their pagan conquerors, and censuses were forbidden under Jewish law. The assessment was greatly resented by the Jews, and open revolt was prevented only by the efforts of the high priest Joazar.[10] As it was, the census did trigger the revolt of Judas of Galilee and the formation of the party of the Zealots, according to Josephus.[11]

Wikipedia article on Quirinius.
So here you go? Was Luke lying about birth during the reign of Herod the Great, or during the census of Quirinius? Or was Jesus born 10 years old?
