It thinks that I'm 27! 
There were a few questions that didn't have appropriate answers, but I picked the closest one anyhow. The only desserts that I recognize there are the candy and banana split. I agree with moose about the secret telling. I live part-time with my girlfriend and part-time with my mother who, at 93, needs someone around a lot. Actually, now that I think about it, most of the questions were inapplicable to me.
