Someone really should try and figure out the average age on the forum. There's a decent sample size here by now.

Nah, figuring out the average age is meaningless because it'd already get old when you count the numbers. A better idea would be to operate the fixed data — the birthday years, for example.

It doesnt seem like it would be too difficult. Take the ages posted, convert to days. Then, add the amount of days in difference the post is to current time. Shouldn't be hard at all. Uhh... I guess I'll whip it up in Excel or something.

It also needs to be regularly updated to bear any relevance. Fixed data doesn't have that problem.

Well, it will be easily updated. All you would have to do is change the current date in one of the columns, and all of the data in the sheet will autoupdate. edit: Done. Seems the average age is 21.6869 as of September 24th, 2006. Keep in mind that I passed over any updated posts, and I guessed on some posts that gave a little bit of information that wasn't a number. Therefore, while this isn't 100% accurate, it's fairly close. To update this, you only need to change the current date values in the second to last column.

Great work! Now, re-calculate without my pushing-30 ass because I certainly throw all the numbers out of wack.

I already went ahead and removed the upper and lower bounded ages. The average age didn't change much at all. Your age was cancelled out by cheeseman's 12 years of age. Interestingly enough, the median was pretty close to the mean.

my $current_time = time;

my $age = $current_time - $birth_time; #in seconds

$age /= (60*60*24*365.256363051);

Or, you know, you can save the effort and just use the spreadsheet. It requires 3 inputs and one constant alteration for an output.
