- steveplace 19y agoAt the time of this posting, and including me (22 + BSEE) and the OP, here are some stats: Sample Size: 88 Max: 62 Min: 18 Mean: 27.3 Median: 25.5 StdDev: 8.17 I excluded some outliers based on claims I believed to be false or silly (4 yo w/ laptop and 87 w/ high school) Pretty interesting stats. Disclaimer ripped from slashdot: "This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane."
- cperciva 19y agoMore interesting statistics: Out of a sample size of 107 (as above, after removing obviously silly reports), there are: 41 people whose highest completed degree is a Bachelor's, 17 people whose highest completed degree is a Master's, and 5 people whose highest completed degree is a Doctorate. At all three levels, there's roughly a 40:20:40 split between degrees in areas other than computing, people who didn't state what field their degree is in, and degrees in computing.
