Age

[danaeris]

So I was having an interesting conversation about the age of people in my social crowd with a friend. I asserted that the average age of those I had met outside of college was much higher than my own age. The conversation made me curious, so I'm posting a poll.

I know some of you may be older or younger than the scope of this scale, but unfortunately lj polls will only let you have twenty options. Please select the option closest to your age, and if it is particularly different from your actual age, comment or email me so I can adjust appropriately.

Edit If you are viewing this page in my lj style, run the mouse over the numbers to highlight them and make the numbers visible. otherwise they will be black on black.

[Poll #338651]

I decided to round up. I'm about 26.8 years old, so for calculating an average of all friends' ages, 27 is a better number.

I rounded up too, since I'm 1.5 months from turning 24. :)

LiveJournal implements a strange definition of "NONE" when showing poll results.

What they mean is that you can't see individual people's answers.

I'm all ineligible to answer. Wah!

I'm actually 41.

The way to handle more than 20 options is to have more than one poll, side by side. So you could do, say 15-34, 35-54, etc.

And this year I'm the answer to life, the universe and everything (42). :^D

I see the results, but not any way to answer the poll...

...which doesn't matter *too* much, as I'm outside the options-list.

Like dawnd am The Answer - 42. however, unlike Dawn, who just became The Answer, I will cease to be that and merely be 43 innnnnnn.... 20 days, on 9/10.
