Remember, they may be gathering more info as more people give their real ages, and can tune-up the accuracy. Also, possibly collecting other information and this is just a way of getting that. ---

Guessed 31, I’m 49. Did this on my MacBook Pro with the touchpad, and I expanded and enlarged the Firefox display settings until the window could not be displayed in its entirety – still got a “too small” warning. ---

I’m 47. Did it last night at home on the home PC right handed got 42. Did it again at work left handed and got 37. I’m right handed but at work I use the mouse in my left hand so I can use my right hand for writing, using the phone, other stuff at the same time. ---
