Does that thing just throw random numbers between 28 and 33 ? Looks like that if I read the comments :D .
Probably has more to do with the age of your average HN reader.

#40It said 33, I am 40.
It told me I was 33 also and I'm 25.
The survey at the end was fairly short. I wonder what factors they might be missing. I type most of the day in a terminal and rarely use my touchpad except for scrolling and occasional clicks on websites. I also don't play video games often. It seems like both of those facts could have affected my speed.
