Reply to: At what age ....

[hugebrain]

Not really. Anyway the figures are:

Age	6months
---	-------
1	50.0%
2	25.0%
3	16.7%
4	12.5%
5	10.0%
6	8.3%
7	7.1%
8	6.3%
9	5.6%
10	5.0%
11	4.5%
12	4.2%
13	3.8%
14	3.6%
15	3.3%
16	3.1%
17	2.9%
18	2.8%
19	2.6%
20	2.5%

So probably you're look at 4%. 13 and a half is pushing it, but 12 and half I can imagine kinds saying.

Obvious fail.

Should be one and a half, two and a half etc. on the left. Otherwise the question doesn’t even come up.

That answer needs a graph

Based on what we did with our kids (youngest is approaching 12), I'd say about 8 years old.

More importantly, I now say my own age is forty twelve...

2 significant figures.

When very small we talk about them being "10 weeks". Then "14 months". Etc.

Breaks down for centenarians but who cares once you're over 100

Hey, stop that. I was never charged and my Transporter has windows (although they are tinted very dark )

They're not called an "RV" for nothing... #Justsaying!

[xoggoth]

Relative age is a nice way of looking at it. A one year old will age 100% in the next year. I will only age by less than 1.4%.

It's probably more because they've forgotten

Oooh, never thought about if it kicks back in again. Mrs W isn't convinced with this, but then we don't know anyone over 90 so we can't speak from a point of knowledge.

Mrs W also thought <10 (I had no feckin idea, I mean, kids!!)

<10 is right. YG2 has just had her 9 1/2 birthday party as we couldn't have a party in March. But we timed in badly so by the time we got round to it she could only have visitors from one household so her best mate came round with her sister who is friend with YG1. I0 1/2 sounds weird.

I did have a 33 1/3 birthday party, but mainly because I was sick of January birthdays.

You must be related to kids if you don't have them, or at least people who were kids when you were an adult.

In regards to the very old people near 100 - they do get to the point where they tell you exactly how old they are again.

When the half accounts for less than 7% of your life.

I reckon it stops by 14 as Adrian Mole did 13 3/4 IIRC.

I think the over 90 aspect is more tongue in cheek by the odd twinkly eyed gent or lady looking for a bit of a flirt, rather than a real thing.

We try to avoid kids as much as possible. My mates know that I have no interest in kids, their schools, blah blah blah, so these conversations don't happen around me.

Years ago a mate's wife asked me if I wanted to change their new kids nappy (FFS!!) .... I asked her if she wanted to empty my cat's litter tray. Not surprisingly the answer to both questions was no Mrs W was a bit more forthright than me!
