Come As You Are

just came across the age project which shows you pictures and you have to decide guess how old the person is. it's kind of interesting really. i think after going through maybe 50 photos, i managed to only get 2 correct. i estimate that i was within a couple years maybe 20% of the time. not so good huh?

i seemed to have particular trouble with womens photos. i'd mistake a 24 year old for being like 17, then i'd see someone i thought was 35 and they would be maybe 25. one woman i guessed was in her 20's and she was like 45! seeing as they show the average guess, i wasn't too far out of the norm as the average was in the low 30's. i'm sure she's pleased.

anyway, give it a whirl -- it's quite interesting. for grins, i submitted a photo of me since they don't associate names or anything with the photos. i'll be interested to see if people see me as a young whipper-snapper or an old coot.

final update: 5/10 @ 14:49
269 people have seen it, average guess is 33.
