Hi,

I've processed the data from Viscous' list (thanks, again). I still have the latest data (which is about 8 years old) from Mirajj that I'm in the process of cleaning up, but it doesn't look like it is going to be much different from what I've posted before. So, this may be the last of this game for me. If anyone is interested, I have pretty much everything used for these three posts in an xl file. Anyone wanting a copy of that file, send me an e-mail with an addy that I can send attachments to.

According to the front page of the Lounge (when I looked) there were 16188 registered members.

From Viscous' list, there where 16263 entries. As he points out, not all member numbers correspond to a member. Of those entries 12036 gave no birth info (including, from a casual scan, many old time regulars). Two claim to be born in 1906 and 1908 respectively. Seven claim to be born in or after 2001. One claims to have been born on September 31st. That left 4217 'valid' entries.

I'm sure that some of those entries are spam bots or other thrash (e.g., Alex001Urimmisholi through Alex015Urimmisholi looks suspicious to me). However, a superficial scan seems to indicate that the vast majority are typical member names, and at least the birth dates are reasonable values. So, with he understanding that at least some of the data are flawed, the results are:

Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp; 21&nbsp;&nbsp; 124&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 37&nbsp;&nbsp; 133&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 56&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2

&nbsp;&nbsp; 22&nbsp;&nbsp; 141&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 38&nbsp;&nbsp; 131&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 57&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2

&nbsp;&nbsp; 23&nbsp;&nbsp; 157&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 39&nbsp;&nbsp; 133&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 58&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 24&nbsp;&nbsp; 141&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 40&nbsp;&nbsp; 148&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 59&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 25&nbsp;&nbsp; 173&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 41&nbsp;&nbsp; 136&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 63&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 26&nbsp;&nbsp; 178&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 42&nbsp;&nbsp; 127&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 67&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 27&nbsp;&nbsp; 159&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 43&nbsp;&nbsp; 132&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; 28&nbsp;&nbsp; 145&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 44&nbsp;&nbsp; 137

Overall, it looks like the Lounge population mostly ranges from 20 to 48, and is pretty evenly distributed over those ages. The lack of sub 20 year olds appears to be a real effect.

Fun, but now, in the words of R. Dangerfield, "all gone, stupid.";)
