good call on the wincing, though i don't know how you could tell my math was off. i have a whole extra week!

Anyone else have a guess? The hint is that coil guessed 42 and was high. Searching is not fair.

July 7th?

Well, for kicks and grins lets all imagine funny outcomes.

1) Thats your baptism date. You're joining the LDS church.
2) Oh no, you and Bill are getting a divorce!
3) Celia unleashes her supercells, which grow at an alarming rate and cover the earth in booby tissue.
4) WEEE!! You're having a baby!!! For dinner.
5) You're taking a trip. To Utah. And you're bringing your melons.

It's true, Icarus at least has an an air of competence.

No other new people are going to guess my age? Aww.

Do you mean, is that the answer of a stoned person or a cruel person?

Frankly, I'm not sure.

z, am I missing a threat here? my spider-sense wasn't going off till you said that... <edit to say that I'm not going to edit this just because of your edit so it can make sense>

I thought both stoned and evil were taken for granted... I was speaking of progression along the line of whole numbers and wondering whether I had guessed "less than" or "greater than" our target number, which I am actually hoping is more like 38-40 since I have always had a romantic fascination with older women.

If I helped narrow it down, it would take some of the challenge away, and the new guessers would be automatically better off. For all you know, you're correct.

42 is too high.
12 is too low.

and we have a winner!!!!

did you already know that? you win dinner for yourself and a guest after you've settled into the west lafayette area.

i guess now i should go back to killing defenseless organisms for the next 7 weeks. this waiting has nothing to do with my age, after all.

As for this one, are you changing advisors?

No, wait . . . that's only six weeks away and it doesn't have anything to do with Celia. Hmm.

The research part of your thesis will be completed?

mackillian: what?
mackillian: it isn't like I've seen your photo and say you LOOK old
mackillian: I mean maturity wise.
mackillian: or I just assume that most people are older than me.
celia: pick a reason ;-)
mackillian: I think it's both
mackillian: I assume I'm immature

Do you need a nice hot cup of shut-the-hell-up?

What's really funny to me after reading both threads is that the closest guess to mine is on mack's and the closest guess to mack's is on mine.

I'll give ya'll a hint. The guess to mack's on mine is much, much, much closer than the other.
