Oldest and Youngest Rootschatters

[daval57]

This has probably been covered before but it just crossed my mind.
What is the age group on the site?
From the folk I've dealt with, I guess the average is about 55 (no offence to anyone older or younger - I'm talking average).
 
However, who is the youngest and oldest researcher on RC?

Mods, what is the average?

I got interested when I was in my early 20's but never did much serious research.  It wasn't until a few years ago, when I got my first PC, that I started recording it.

Hi Dave

Pam had a thread going for a good while with a poll. I think the peak number was in the 30/40 age group. it was on ToT board so it's probably gone now.

Maybe you could put a poll up on this thread with broad age groupings.

I admit to being 80 but a mere stripling compared to Gadget (See her profile).  But then she has a gent called Methuselah in her family tree

and next month, I'll be even older

Yes, Gadget, and as you proved before, unlike some of us slightly younger Rootschatters you can actually do 'simple' mathematics!

we only had bits of stick and little clay beads in those days

And now she's the proud possessor of a slide rule -  none of those  modern calculators for our Gadget
