How old are you and what is your education level?

At the time of this posting, and including me (22 + BSEE) and the OP, here are some stats:<p>Sample Size: 88<p>Max: 62<p>Min: 18<p>Mean: 27.3<p>Median: 25.5<p>StdDev: 8.17<p>I excluded some outliers based on claims I believed to be false or silly (4 yo w/ laptop and 87 w/ high school)<p>Pretty interesting stats. Disclaimer ripped from slashdot:<p>"This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane."
