I tell people I stopped counting when I turned 18. When I'm asked my age, I have to substract my year of birth from the current year.

Happens. I thought there was some kind of error. Early results seem to confirm mostly 40s and up here but I know it is early.

25, but I feel younger, and apparently look and act older.

No idea how you look but you do act older. I thought you were older until you gave your age here some time ago.

My age has been a prime number 16 times.

a-b=1
a2+b2-b=my age.

Well, if a and b are assumed to be integers, then I would have thought his age would be 56 instead of 57. But he never said those were integers, so I think there are several alternate answers that meet his criteria; i.e., 53 through 58.

Ironically, my age is not what I want to see come up on my casino game of choice.

my age = xy

where xy * y + y = my age

By the way Raleigh, my age is just as natural as yours but generally safer.

Integers, and 56.

36+25-5=56.

Ok, I'll admit it. My age can be expressed by a number (shocking, I know).

Seriously, These polls keep surprising me. I expected the largest group to be in their 40s.

Not me. There are way too many hints that there's more old farts like me than you think.

You must be quite young, then. Only men are embarrassed about being young, women are embarrassed about being old. Its because men respect age and experience and women crave youth and beauty.

I'm not embarrassed. I'm mortified. Time just keeps on marching on regardless of what I have to say about it. Time's a heartless bitch.

Would that it were the case.

So, either you're being difficult or are trying to conduct a slow chat session.

I concede. Well, as far as I can. I'm over thirty.

Don't have a stroke, Nareed. I'm only having you on, I looked at your profile months ago and it says you're 43.

Personally, I think the 20s through 60s categories show surprising uniformity for a discussion group. Probably some sort of testament to the Wizard's ability to construct a site that is attractive to all adult ages. The drop off for the 70+ group could be a combination of drop off in the general population plus reduced internet activity by that demographic, which could also be factors in the 60s lagging the other groups slightly.
