Age Survey

888

17 here, youngest person to reply so far!!!!

(psst...don't tell yaweh about this thread)



(edit: 888 posts, wohoo for me)
 
Re: 888

I am as old as a dog, if said dog was as old as another dog was if it were the same age as Riddick's claim of age was, converted into dog years. Take the square root of this number, divide by one, then multiply it by itself. Add ten, multiply by 2, then subtract the square of 8, then add the square root of 4. Add Phi, then subtract 1 plus the reciprocal of Phi.

Subtract 30, and you'll have Riddick's true age!

Riddick claims: "I'm 42 freaking years old."

I'll assume we use the notional (age*7) is human years formula.

Though according to this web site's chart, weight enters into it.

That would be 6 "freaking" years old in dog living years.

42/7=6
Square root over one squared is a NOP.
6+10=16
16*2=32
Square root of 8 is 2 and change
31.change
Square root of 4 is 2
33.change
Phi-(1+(1/Phi)) = 0, another NOP

So, you're 33.change, and riddick's age is 3.change.

Unless you meant cubed-root of eight to get a round number. Then that's 32, and 2, respectively.

Oh, and don't forget, that's in "freaking years". The "freaking" was never properly cancelled out.
 
What's the agenda of this poll? I'm becoming paranoid in my old age (which I won't tell - I'm old)... ;)
Edited to correct spelling (again...)
 
My guess is that Riddick is asking the physical age question so that he can make arguements from authority at that point: "well you're only 17 (or place an age younger than 42 here) so you don't know anything you punk. I'm 42."

Nevermind every person with a fairly reasonable way of thinking knows physical age has little do with maturity or overall intelligence.

Isn't it also funny that someone who claims to be 42 could also, by a very mild stretch, claim it's also the anwer to life,the universe, and everything?

Oops, no. I probably didn't explain very well.

Change your first line of solving to these two lines:

42/dogyears=6
6*dogyearsinreverse=42

or
42/7=6
6*7=42

Another NOP. ;)

And that's 8^2, not SQR(8).

Then multiply the result by freaking/freaking, then divide by its reciprocal, just for a few more NOPs.
 
Riddick claims: "I'm 42 freaking years old."

I doubt that. His/her use of language and choice of avatar belies his/her true age. which I'm estimating is somewhere between 16 - 20. Could wrong though, could be younger.
 
I just turned 31. I love telling people that too. Their eyes pop out. Not one single person has ever guessed my real age within 5 years. If they were just being nice, they wouldn't have their jaws hitting the floor right?

So, I could lie, but I won't. :p
 
What an interesting bell curve we've got going on.

Why is this in R&P again? Isn't this more of a Community thing?

A few years ago, I was interested in a woman many many eons younger than I. (She, however, wanted to be "just friends." Sad, but it turns out for the best, as I could never keep up with her energy level.) She made some comment about my age, and I asked "Just how old do you think I am?"

"Uh, twenty eight?"

"Twenty eight?!?" I exclaimed, truly in shock.

"Sorry sorry sorry!", she said. "Twenty six?"

"Er, yeah", I lied like a bearskin rug, "Twenty six. Next month." Yeah, I came out of the womb and immediately started studying algebra. And earned my HS diploma by the age of three.

I want to see your pic now :D
 
I think I got a skewed poll. I think a lot of the votes were by people who don't regularly post in R&P. A lot of drive-by voting, is my impression.
 
Axolotls don't have the vote...YET. And they forget their age in about... ...that long.

What results did you expect?
