Looks like people are interpreting the “how old are you when your first grandparent dies” differently:

When did that actually happen _for you_

vs.

When does it happen for most people

The use of present tense made me think it was #2. Otherwise the question would have been “how old were you when your first grandparent died.”

Ah, it’s all moot anyway, as long as your numbers match somebody. Just an observation.

I interpreted it as the 2nd way- but answered as the first.. because i had no idea the “regular” age for that type of thing. Especially since my first died at 12, and my last died last year and I was 32.
