OK, I knew there was some reason I didn't post my age till now. It's time to bring all you above average 'Cats back down to earth!

Here goes ... according to the usual unreliable sources I've had 23 lifetimes as a human being, which has taken me about 4600 years - including sick leave, sabbaticals, a couple between-life incarcerations and a few dozen extended holiday cruises through the lower astral realms (otherwise known as the etheric "red light district").

So that makes me the Grand Total of 4646.64 years young, as of today. (Non-human incarnations not included).

Does that raise our average a little?

Above average here, too.

I had to think about the average # of limbs bit, but yeah that must be <4, of course.

No-one is to give Skipy any more information. He is a statistician. He thinks that if you have your head in the cooker and your feet in the freezer, you must be comfortable.

Splott Man said: What's our mean age?

I will avoid the obvious pun.

To deal with the question, "mean" and "average" are the same thing.

Now, it would be interesting to know the mode, median, and range.

The mode is the the most frequent age cited

Median is the halfway point from youngest to oldest

Mean is average--that is, the total value of all instances divided by the number of instances.

And the range, of course, is the "youngest" and "oldest" figures.

If John 'Giok' MacKenzie wasn't lying when he said his average age is 21, then his current age is 41. One's personal "average age" (the sum of all the ages one has ever been, divided by one's current age) will always be equal to one-half of one's current age plus one-half year. Try it.

I didn't do enough of anything in the 1960s to understand this. Let me see if I got this right. I am 57. So if I take half my age that would be 28.5 plus a half year. That then makes me 29. Hoooooly.

I feel younger already.

Thanks Uncle Dave, that's what I meant.

My mean (UK) age was 21, when I wouldn't lend anything to anyone.
My mean (US) age was 52, when I hated the world, but I'm better now.

Not at all surprised that the results are the majority of posters here are over the thirty something range, as that is seen everyday in the conservative bent of the posters themselves. Folk music as a scene draws from a generally conservative part of the population (ie--speaking in broad generalities, people who value "tradition" over "innovation" and/or "contemporary" sorts of music/music scenes).

Also, folk music scene is pretty much inhabited by older sorts of adults, even though more youngsters have come onto the scene in the past decade than I've seen in ages. But still, most have drifted in and out of the "scene" and certainly the majority of them don't devote themselves to the folk music scene exclusively.

The emotional maturity age level here, often seems stuck somewhere around age 10-12, and with some of the more obsessive-abusive types, we are probably talking negative ranges.

Any fool can be young. Takes determination and perseverance to get to 50. It wasn't until the 1960s that this idea of youth being better than age started, and like a lot of things that started in the '60s (I'm told I was there) it doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. Never mind, those of you "below average" can be honorary "old folkies" until you make it by rights.    ;-}
