Being the mathematician that I am, the results I got in the regular poll were just too inexact for me. So I'm making a couple more threads to get exact numbers!

This one's for the 15-34 year olds.

Hey, what about our 12 year old autistic Einstein? What if he decides to vote?

Then he reports his answer and I include it, of course.
 
So first you get our age ranges, now your narrowing it down to exact age (you could just check my profile, bit lazy of you really...).

Next you'll be wanting a full address, followed shortly by bank details. I can see the polls now, "pick the digits of your account number", "pick the digits of your sort code"...

Shush! I don't want them to know!
 
If you're in the US, we'll need your social security numbers to authenticate your responses.

Thankyou, you have just reminded me to fill out my census form.

I wondering the same thing in slightly different terms. When he gets to higher numbers will he be wanting to know BMI, # original teeth, use of viagra, # great grand children...
:rolleyes: clever kid.

Look at the original thread. Some of us are more than half way down the list of lists.

Okay. I got something like this in an I.Q. test once. So, that means the day after tomorrow you will be 18. Right? Am I right?
 
  • #15
Lol, following that logic then yes. But I'll still be 17 the day after tomorrow. Birthday's are annual :P.

On the bright side, halfway down the "young" list is still only a 1/6th down the three lists combined!

Is there anyone here younger than 15? I'm surprised that there aren't many teenagers here.

Yup, I'm very glad about that. Even so, I often feel old and nostalgic for the past; I wonder what I'll feel when I actually reach middle age.

My guess? The same way you do now... we seem to change less on the inside than the outside... we add a few skills, a patina of wisdom, but we're the men and women we always were.

If a woman tells you she's 20 and looks 16.. she's 12
If she tells you she's 26, and LOOKS 26.. she's damn near 40.

Women are tricksy! :rofl
