I am Randy. I am ETERNAL.

[Method of Madness]

"What's a pirate's favorite number in base-29?"
"Arrrrrrr"

Edit: Apparently that's 172,498,763,089 in base-10. (10x29^7-1)

[Loki]

I thought the joke was that Arrrrrr is pronounced like the letter R, which would correspond to a much smaller number in base 29.

[Method of Madness]

That was the joke (where R=28), but then I realized that "Arrrrrrr" was still a number, so I calculated it while I was bored at work.

[Loki]

Ah, I see!

[GarandMarine]

Just hit 24 the other week, no need to change my vote just yet.

Shouldn't that be 11x29^7-1, since A=10? (189,748,639,398 in base 10)

[Method of Madness]

Yep. My bad.

[LocoJoe]

I'm 24, I'll turn 25 in August.

[Method of Madness]

I'll be 27 in August, so the 25-26 age bracket will have the same number of votes it does now

August what?

[LocoJoe]

23rd. Right on the Leo/Virgo cusp.

[Method of Madness]

Nice, I'm the 26th.

[Kugai]

Turned 52 last month on the 9th, but haven't moved up a bracket yet.   

[Redball]

I move up a bracket in three weeks.

[techkid]

I move up soon as well. Just under 2 weeks.

[techkid]

I sort of forgot to update my vote. I was only off by 4 days...

[Grognard]

bumped a decade, but not a bracket

[Redball]

O Shit! It looks like I inadvertently deleted the poll results. I've messaged Paul and jwhouk hoping there's a way to restore.

[pwhodges]

I replied "no"; but the numbers still seem to be there now I come to the thread (except Redball's)...

Two months from Thursday is when I enter a new bracket.

[MooskiNet]

Dang.  I used to be Riggs, now I'm Murtaugh.

[jwhouk]

In less than a week, I'll be moving up a demographic.

[Method of Madness]

Just realized I forgot to change my demo a month ago.

[Kugai]

Dang.  I used to be Riggs, now I'm Murtaugh.

Gettin' too old for this shit huh? 

[Dragonsreach]

461 days away from Sixty.
I've been alive in 7 Decades, that sounds so weird.

[Redball]

Wish you hadn't put it that way. I've been alive in 9.

Whatever.

I expect to be married in the next month. She's a 66-year-old cutie who teases me about my age.

[pwhodges]

Ooh, congratulations!

[jwhouk]

Demographic.... changed. 

[MooskiNet]

Happy birthday and whatnot!  Enjoy your new demographic!

[Valérie Pickles]

1979 - 05 - 09

Currently 35

[NemoX]

29 here as of september. Slowly catching up to you guys

Tho some days I feel older than I actually am

[kryptoknight]

I'm currently 30, but I will be turning 31 in December.

[tragic_pizza]

I turn 53 next week. Augh.

[Detachable Felix]

Moved up an age bracket 

[Kugai]

I turn 53 next week. Augh.

I don't do that till May

[explicit]

I'm a bit surprised the average and median age for this forum is lower than my videogame clan (I want to say our median age is around 30 and the average is probably higher). I guess I just didn't expect that. I'm one of the youngest there having just turned 23 while our founder is in his 40's and we have about 10 members over 60 (also, someone who's like 81, nicest guy).

I think I'm going to do another "grouping" of the poll, due to the influx of newcomers.

[bhtooefr]

I'll wait to vote, as I'm under 2.5 months from changing groups.

[Kugai]

Might do the same since I go up an age in May.

[Method of Madness]

Ha, boo, now I won't change groups for four and a half years!

[Dark Matter]

I'm 19.

[DrBear]

Turn 58 later this month. Which means, if time moved at the same rate in QC as it does in RL, I would be the same age as Victoria Reed and John Ellicott-Chatham

[Fig]

Still in the 27-31 age group for another two years.

[AgentTex1973]

41 going on 42 this year (my age will finally be the answer to life).

Is there a reason it's under 16 and not under 18? Also...this poll doesn't account for 16 year olds. I'll fix that to "16 and under".

Just poor wording on my part.

[Loki]

Went through this thread just to find this post:

*headscratch* why not just poll the birthyears instead of age? Age changes, years of birth remain forever.

------------
On an unrelated note:

I cannot be 42 in any base

Thinking about it a bit more, you can only be 42 every four years (the first time being at 22, because you need at least base 5 in order to even have a 4). Unless you allow for non-natural bases, but that'd be weird.

Dear past me, please include proofs in your posts. Thank you.

(It's really simple actually. To be 42 in base k, it would mean your age is x=4*k+2 <=> x-2 = 4k. So x-2 must be divisible by 4. That occurs only once in 4 years, obviously.)
