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.

M
=====
4|025
3|124567
2|0000001112222356666889
1|2344444556677777888899999

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

The way to read these is : M is for Male, F is for Female. If it says 3|23, it means there's one person who's 32 years old and one who's 33.

Because the average age og males and females are so similar, a statistical test may show that you can't reliably say that they are, in reality, different. Think of them as similar.
