Now what we need is someone to compile all the answers and average them

I did so once and as far as I remember Cupcake did it a second time, so who's up for the job next?
If anyone should really do it: Do not forget to add as many years as the post is old to the date given in it, instead we won't get a representative result...

Well, adding in myself at 25 . . .

I get 141 users ranging from 11 to 59, with an average age of ~24.2 years. I tried to account as much as I could for passage of time and any birthdays mentioned.

I made a nice little excel chart bar graph-histogram thing that shows how the ages break down over the range (because I'm THAT bored). But my image hosting service is down . . . so it looks like you don't get to see it.

edit: figures there'd be one last person to add in just as I type this.

142 users. 24.15 years

edit number two: my hosting is back up.

Hmm...the data appears to be skewed to the right.

Right you are. A median age would be much more useful. (10 people over the age of 40 is like over 20 people of age 20). The average should be closer to 20 years old.

Indeed, the skewness has affected the mean since it is not resistant to outliers

Median Age = 21

I am 16! Do you think the age determines the amount of time and effort a person will put into a model??

Nathan · Post by **Nathan** » November 25th, 2007, 8:35 am

I believe that age does affect, to a certain degree, the amount of time and effort a person will put into a model. Usually, an older person will be more patient while folding. But 16 years old should be fine 'cuz I'm 15 .

I'm 18 now. Been folding since 13.
