I'm only 14 actually. But yes, mental age is another thing entirely.

Does that mean we should have another poll that has mental age?
(That is, your age * your IQ / 100)

Look at that perfect normal distribution.  It's a thing of beauty.

I'm 20, and discovered DF about 6 months ago when I was 19. I saw the game on tigsource all the time, and finally decided to try it. I started in AM, and was first ambushed by a lion. I put a bolt into his stomach, when he gave in to pain and vomited. I was forever hooked.

Physical Age: 13
Mental Age: 130s/100: 13s year of mental age too. (Note that this is not accurate. I slack off the last IQ test)

born 1995, actually.

You are 13y old, and you are the war minister of Indonesia already? Awesome!  ;D ;)

Now back to the topic...I was absolutely sure that most of the voters will click on 24-35 and 36-49. I am frankly suprised!  ;D
However, it looks like that most of the people who registered on the official forum are very young. [17 and under  35 (27.3%) + 18-23  58 (45.3%)]
I think that even Toady is surprised, but who knows.. :D

[[PS. Many older players do not even post here, I know 2 25+y old from somethingawful for example whose are not even registered here, but they are posting a lot in the DF topics there..]]

28. People guess my age at about ten years older.  :P
I think it has something to do with my beard and long hippie hair. I look like something that was scraped off of 1969.

14 years old, born in 1994.

On a slightly unrelated note: There is a calculation for mental age? What the hell?

Quite.  It's the opposite of the formula used to derive your IQ.

Quote from: Wikipedia
At first, IQ was calculated as a ratio with the formula 100 *  mental age / chronological age.

Due to wikipedia formatting conventions...it looks better here (you'll have to scroll a bit).

19 and feeling old.
I'm surprised that there's no poll for gender. I want to know if I'm prejudiced or right (I can't shake the feeling that it's mostly men).
