- z3t4 9y agoI was doing some statistics on a gaming site, and thought the average age of the users where surprisingly high, but not so much off I suspected a bug. I did investigate anyway and it turned out some users put 9999999 as their age, skewing the average. There's always noise, but I'm against filtering it out, because often it's in the outliers where the interesting stuff reside, and when it comes to software there's usually where the bugs hide. As for the average age I did the avg on those with age between 0 and 100, as I also found out it was possible to enter a negative age.
