How old are you?

Guybrush · 02-10-2009, 03:22 AM

I thought it might be fun to do some MB demography and see if we can make out the age structure of the community. If enough people answer, we can make a population pyramid perhaps.

So the question is, of course, how old are you? It's also nice if you include your sex, unless you consider it to be appearant.

edit :

The latest statistics reposted here for easier reference!

This chart is based on the following numbers which may or may not be completely right. They were gathered in the period 10th of March 2009 to 11 of May 2009.

F
=====
3|23
2|001358
1|3477888889
