+TeamAtlas Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Done. Holy cow, 12 checked greater than 90? I hope I'm still caching at that age! Link to comment
+at play by jc/eaglei Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I noticed someone has started an new thread in "Getting Started" asking people to give their ages. There's an old thread in this area asking the same thing. The problem with asking people to post their ages, there's no way to summarize the results (Also, some people don't want to state their ages publicly ). So, I've created a poll, and I'm asking everyone to give there age one more time. This will really let us see the pattern of geocacher ages. So Go Here and enter your age anonymously. Then look at the results to see the pattern. Also, post something here saying you did it so this thread won't slide off the radar screen. Ok I'll do it ! Huh real age or my mental state? Oh ok I'll put real age :-) Link to comment
+Northmark Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I've done it.. 40 going on ??? Link to comment
+crockett3663 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I voted anonymously, but I don't mind telling my age in public...I'm 45. The reason I don't mind telling everyone is because I don't LOOK to be 45. I have all of my original hair, and very little of it is gray. Plus, most of the people I work with are younger than I am, so they help to keep me young. I know...you're jealous...it's OK. Link to comment
+thepadre Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I will be 73 in September 08. Been doing this since 2003. Retired. As of today I have 4224 finds. Looking forward to many more finds. Link to comment
mlbcard Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Pretty unexpected results... I added one in the 21-30 range (unfortunately, I'm closer to 30). Link to comment
+TellMeIfYouSeeAChicken Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Done. I have kids below the lowest age group and they have accounts and log finds (sometimes). Shame they can't be counted. Yup. I'm 36 and voted. My usual cocachers are my 9- and 11-year-old daughters. They don't have a separate account so... uh... is that why that age group isn't considered in the poll? I've heard tell of 8-year-olds and 11-year-olds who have accounts and log finds. Eight-year-old with Girl Scout troop, and so on. Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I had to lie. I'm adding this to my pet peeve list. People who put up polls that do not understand basic math. I am not between the age of 51 and 60. I am not between the age of 61 and 70. I am between the age of 60 and 61. Any properly done poll would list: 50-60 and 60-70. It's called a step function. That I could have answered without lying. Oh, well. No, Crockett, I don't look my age. Blessed with a baby face. Not one grey hair, either. (It all went white, so I dye it blond!) Link to comment
+kidcobalt Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Need more "old Folk", our bracket is too small!!!!! Link to comment
SARAH ! Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am one of the 130 people in the 12-20 age range. Link to comment
TermiteHunter Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Looks like I'll lose interest in a few more years. Link to comment
+Flatouts Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Flatouts did it. We both fall within one of the groups listed. Link to comment
jmythng Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 done and i'm currently with the 26.43% of the others who have voted Link to comment
+Roarmeister Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Majority of the posters (not necessarily the same as the cachers) are 30-50. Actually, in my neighbourhood there seems to be a lot more over 50 than this bell curve suggests. Retirees have more time on their hands and since geocaching is less physical than most outdoor activities, I would suggest that a good many cachers have a bubble in the middle! Link to comment
+syfun Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 done. My 9yr old that finds just as many as I do is kinda bummed that he isn't represented. Link to comment
+CartersNest Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I am surprised at the most common age group! Thought it would be much younger. Link to comment

+infiniteMPG Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Done! Retirees have more time on their hands and since geocaching is less physical than most outdoor activities, I would suggest that a good many cachers have a bubble in the middle! I would think that retirees have more time on thier hands so they're out geocaching more and hanging out on the forums less.... so the upper age group numbers are probebly shy. Need to add "Could be outside caching but chose to sit here on my 'puter and vote in some poll" or "I'm at work and voting on some poll when I should be working" buttons. Yeah, I'd press the work one. Link to comment
+infiniteMPG Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 343 posts and 2,126 votes.... hmmmm.... looks like around a 6:1 vote to post ratio Link to comment
+Silfron Mandotheneset Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I would've thought there'd be more 21-30s, just from the college student point of view. But anyways, I voted Link to comment
+John H Watson Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Wow. My hat's off to the 80+ - and especially to the 90+ - cachers. Link to comment
+The Hawks Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I did it. Anyway, I don't think the result of 12 votes in >90 compared to only 4 in 81-90 is quite accurate ... We will see! Link to comment

AZcachemeister Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Old enough to know better, Too young to resist! YAY, there was a slot where I fit, so I slid right in. Link to comment
+kindbus Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Allright, I did it, and it seems us 40 to 50 year olds are in the lead ! Link to comment
