For some reason I was wondering about this in the shower this morning. There may already be polls like this one but by now I'd assume they're outdated.
Poll: How old are you?

Re: Poll: How old are you?
#2I'm also curious about the ratio of genders as well:

Someone pointed out (in the gender poll) that HN allows more than 1 vote on a poll at a time so sorry for splitting it up! I had no idea.

#311-20 seems like a pretty uninformative range, assuming you want to draw conclusions (maybe you don't!) from the results, as it is in this range that you experience the most noticeable increase in both maturity and knowledge.
11-15 and 16-20 would have been significantly more telling. (As an aside, this is especially strange considering ranges such as 41-45.)

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing. I'll change that. Thanks!

#5All I know is that this post just made me feel a lot older. Good God, I'm a 'seasoned vet' at 40.

Message to the future: there were ~30 people who had voted 11-20 by the time the switch was made to break it up into two sections.
To figure out the actual distribution of people, you'll have to subtract 30 from the 16-20 range and then compare that with the 11-15 range, and then add back in the 30 votes distributed correctly.

How did you set up this poll?
I'd like to do one.

Thank you:)
