The difference between my age and Greyem's age is the same as the difference between my age and the next natural square which is missing in the ages posted thus far. And interestingly, that same difference is the difference between the average of Robalex's and my age (rounded down) and the next natural square. And even more interestingly, the total ages of Robalex and Nanobyte's heart is once again off by that difference from the next natural square after that.

So how old am I?

Is it the same as the fourth root of my age plus the first "next natural square"?....I have to admit....that was an interesting riddle and worked my mind for quite the while....

That is correct, So So. Took me a minute to translate your answer back as well [img]smile.gif[/img]

Glad it helped stretch your mind today

I turned 35 this year. Got into computer RPG's back in the days of Ultima IV and Alternate Reality (who here remembers THAT unfinished idea-years-before-its-time?).

Welcome to the boards, progrocker69! May you find life in the Gael Serran something more than you have ever found before.

Ultima IV (or was it III?) was one of the first CRPGs I played... I still remember it fondly. Might and Magic 1 was my first... you never forget your first... [img]smile.gif[/img]

52 and will be 53 come July -
Worked hard to get this far. Beats the alternative.
Age is a state of mind.
I do not mind growing old if I can grow wise while doing so.

My first RPG was the old D&D with ASCI characters representing Dragons & other monsters played on an old Tandy 1000 in the early 1980's. When they came out with the SSI "graphics" RPG games I was in heaven. Beat that all you old timers.

Robalex: Rogue. "OMG!!!! It's a 'T'! RUNNNNN!!!!!"

Or if you prefer, Scott Adams games. If you're old enough for graphics being cool, you should be old enough for those [img]smile.gif[/img]

And Wyv, I prefer to look at the two choices I have in life: to grow old, or to live a number of years. I have known people who were old before they were 40, and others who were not, even at 80. I vow never to grow old...
