He has silver temples... I don't know many under-40s, or even under-45s who are rocking those. I'm sure it's possible, but it's not the way to bet.

I'm sure that is true. Just as one can fill an inside straight. :)   So far the only lesson we've seen Jim learn is "Hire a better lawyer".

I was mostly grey by the time I hit 40 - as was Dad before me.  My Grandpa (mother's side) was actually red with badger streaks over his ears when he passed at 88 - and the streaks were fairly new, about 10 years old at most.  Hair colour is really genetically dependant.

And that last lesson is an important one to learn in a generic sense - "Don't cheap out on the important things."

bhtooefr:
There is another way to represent it, though, that works for PEMDAS/BOMDAS/whatever mnemonic you use.

x / 2 + 7 = y

x = Your age
Solve for y

That's the normal formula.

So, reversing it without changing the formula at all would be...

y = Your age
Solve for x

But, I was properly accounting for PEMDAS when I reversed it, by adding virtual parentheses.

But still plenty variable.  I've been gray for 15 years, and my hair's getting on the thin side; but my brother, who is 6 years older, still has his full colour and bushy hair.

Those chemicals in the little bottles in the hair section might disagree with you :-P

Mr. Doctor:
Hhahahah totally, I had red hair back when I was very little until I was like 12 but look at my avatar... That's not red.
