Hi,

First results -- from Mirajj's data.

I took the data that Mirajj sent me and parsed it into a flat database in Excel. To get the ages, I had to make some assumptions and changes. I took the people who gave ages like "in my 30s" and replaced with '35'. The original list was, IIRC, from '99, the upgrade Mirajj sent me was from '01. The ages of people who did not upgrade from age to DoB is most likely from 1999. So I used June, 1999 as the date in calculating age from DoB. When only the year of birth was given, I used age = 1999 - DoB.

The results were:

Code:
Data Points&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;230

Youngest&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8.0

First quartile&nbsp;&nbsp;16.0

Median&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.0

Third quartile&nbsp;&nbsp;30.0

Oldest&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;63.0

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mode&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.0

Average&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 23.8

Std dev of pop&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3

The histogram with zeros removed is:

&nbsp;&nbsp; 12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;42&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

&nbsp;&nbsp; 13&nbsp;&nbsp; 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;43&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

&nbsp;&nbsp; 14&nbsp;&nbsp; 15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;45&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

&nbsp;&nbsp; 15&nbsp;&nbsp; 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;47&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 16&nbsp;&nbsp; 20&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;48&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

&nbsp;&nbsp; 17&nbsp;&nbsp; 15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;32&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;49&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 18&nbsp;&nbsp; 14&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;33&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;52&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 19&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;53&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 20&nbsp;&nbsp; 11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;35&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;54&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

&nbsp;&nbsp; 21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;36&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;56&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 22&nbsp;&nbsp; 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;37&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;63&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

&nbsp;&nbsp; 23&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;38&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1

So, it would appear that in 1999 the group who represents the forbearers of the Lounge were primarily a young crowd. The ages from 13 to 20 make up nearly 1/2 the population. Only about 1/4 of the population was over 30. It'll be interesting to see how (if at all) things have changed in 10 years.

Of course, there are many flaws with his data. It is of the people who participated in the survey, which represents only a small portion of the total population of the DS. It's accuracy could not be checked. It is actually of the old DSF, and not the Lounge.

But, still, it is a starting point.
