< 36 but not too far off...... but I'm not giving any clues so you'll all just have to wonder! :lol:

Bah, I'll tell you; but not without at least a little work on your part.

If 36 was the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the angle where the adjacent sideand hypotenuse came together was30 deg, 33', 30" my age would be the length of the adjacent side; rounded to the nearest whole number of course.

That looks like ....what the heck was that called in school? Geo...something or another. Oh, Geometry! LOL!

I would rather guess than try to figure that out!

I guess 33! Oh, and I donated all my clothes older than that last year to Goodwill in Kenosha!

No I was guessing that Brass is 36

Yes, but he said his age is your guess times the cosine of 30 deg, 33 min, 30 sec. The cosine is 0.861111985, which multiplied by 36 is 31.

Never hear of that before, but I did do my ciphering back in grammar school -- we had to use slide rules, don't you know.

I am probably one of the younger guys to post on here. I'm guessing, and this is just a guess, the average age of a poster on this forum is around 45. Not surprisingly, some of you guys dont seem to like not only me, but the younger generation all together. So great, you've got open carry, what happens when you pass on? Certain people need to be more open minded and less obtuse, because I am telling you, many attitudes here are driving away people my age.

It takes all kinds to make this movement great. Tolerance is something that all of us need to be reminded of sometimes. You have to take some comments with a grain of salt. It willtake all of young and old to make oc seem as common as wearing a bike helmet. Thank you for your contribution to oc. Carry on.
