You need to create a complex set of equations to solve that will tell us your age. Nothing off limits, either.

Thanks all!
Humblescribe,
Not an equation, but a riddle -- if Arthur was right about the Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, then my age is the answer.
How old am I?
A piece of cake to the first person who gets it right.

Did you read the fine print? (You must show your work, i.e. explain the answer, to get cake)

I saw the movie in which that was answered by mice overlords. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Everyone knows that the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42*, but I have not been on this Earth for two score and two years. I'll give it a little more time if anyone else cares to try to answer before I explain the maths.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 10:16 pm I saw the movie in which that was answered by mice overlords.

* Of course, I know what the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is, but that's another story...

Technically speaking, the "mice overlords" are vast hyperintelligent pandimensional beings who, in addition to their fascination with Brockian ultra-cricket, are deeply philosophical. The ancestors of Frankie and Benji (or Lunkwell and Fook, as they are known to their people) constructed a supercomputer, Deep Thought, to answer the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. After millions of years, it came up with the answer 421. They then asked Deep Thought if he could tell them what the question was, and although he couldn't, he told them that he could design the computer that could -- a planet-sized computer with organic life as a part of its matrix running a program millions of years long. The Magratheans were then commissioned to build the computer2 and the hyperintelligent pandimensional beings took the form of mice to supervise the project. Unfortunately, the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet ship B4 crash landed8 on Earth in pre-historic times and supplanted the native population.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 10:16 pm I saw the movie in which that was answered by mice overlords. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Arthur Dent, marooned on Earth in the past10 just after the Golgafrinchan's arrived, figures that as a descendant of the Golgafrinchans that was on the Earth until 5 minutes before the program was complete12 a modified version of the question should be in his mind. To ascertain what it is, he draws letter tiles from the bag of a Scrabble game he made16. He draws the tiles: "W-H-A-T-D-O-Y-O-U-G-E-T-W-H-E-N-Y-O-U-M-U-L-T-I-P-L-Y-S-I-X-T-I-M-E-S-N-I-N-E". Curiously, it turns out that when you multiply 6 times 9, the answer is "42"... in base thirteen17. In an interview, Douglas Adams20 was asked about this apparent coincidence and replied, "I don't make jokes in base 1327.
Thus, the answer to the riddle of my age28 is that I am 4213 years old29. While this answer may seem contrived31, Humblescribe did say:
So, to make a long story short40, or at least to sum up, the answer is always... Forty two42.humblescribe wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 6:39 pm Happy Birthday!

I loved teaching different bases when I taught math last century. Thanks for the more complete answer, Slarti!

That was quite the read, Birthday Boy!
"No job too big or too small" must be your mantra.
I was not familiar with the Hitchhiker and his guides to the galaxies. (Although I used to drive a Ford Galaxy, but I digress.)
Much thanks!
