average doper age?

21

HA! I’m the only poster on page 5. Anyone care to join me?

Well, I want to share with everyone my dedication to the SDMB. It is 0150 EST and I have two final exams today, one beginning in a little over 6 hours. But I felt compelled to share the average and the breakdown thus far (minus two entries):

Plus one who is whatever a “double-nickel” is, and one who is as old as Cher and Madonna (were not factored in)

Sorry if there are errors, I used the windows calculator and it is really late…er… early… i’m tired

Soup Nazi, I got it, I got it! After all that figurin’ you’re capable of, this’ll probably hit you soon: I THINK double nickels would be 55? But I am only guessing, so I better tone it down!

I’m 62. How did that happen?

Tugs the average down

14 year old here. I feel so young… :smiley:

Earthling and Soup-Nazi–Thanks to both of you for your respective contributions to our better grasp of doper ages. Amazing.

Earthling, your statistical breakdown and analysis are quite impressive and helpful in describing the trend that many seem to sense, which is that the huge-post-count dopers tend to be older than the average.

For anyone with time to kill or other responsibilities to avoid: I’d still like to see some kind of ‘post-count-weighted’ average, so that we could come closer to pinning down the average age of the writer of the average post.

You could do this by multiplying each respondent’s age by his/her post count, add all of these up, then divide the total by the total number of posts made by all respondents. This would give us a sense of the average age of the writer of any given post.

My wild guess? A weighted average would be more like mid-30’s.

26, female.

25, male.

How YOU doin’, Lady? :smiley:

45 male

39 years, 297 days.

Dammit.

Male 24 years…add another newbie to the list.

Is it just me or do a lot of people have feb birthdays? Maybe I’m biased (Born the same day as Lincoln, feb 12th).

39…and a half if you puhleeze

I’m going to pull the average down a little bit----

I’m 13.
