    Awesome!

    Just curious, what did you use to calculate your average age?? :D

    Good one. I thought about the title Age of the average Perl Monk but then I thought I would ge the reply, "What consitutes an "Average" Perl Monk? Which I think would be another great question.

    Average is 37 here! (Note: the same as my average college midterm scores)
    Thanks!

        merlyn,
        Alternatively, your average age could be 22. Take the sum of all your ages and divide by the number of ages.
        print ave_age( 43 ); sub ave_age { ($_[0] * $_[0] + $_[0]) / 2 / $_[0] }
        Incidently, my average age using this formula is 14.5 which assumes you were never 0 years old.

        Cheers - L~R
