Do CF users keep getting older or do yoiunger people join the boards?

According to Buzz Feed, I am 15.

If You Don’t Think This Quiz Can Guess Your Age Then Go Ahead And Try It

Don’t be too freaked out when we get it right.

Says I'm 21. Which apparently everybody thinks I am since I have been carded while buying booze for the past 19 years...

I did the quiz twice ... only variance was I chose the cheese instead of the dessert ... First result: 14 ... Second: 23.

In either case, it appears to be a valid assessment. I was each age at one point in the past.

I picked the pizza. I was hungry when I took it.

You're a young pup, then. From your username, I assume you either majored in Mathematics or at least has courses in Carver. I had Calc 1 8 am M-F in the basement first sem, and the no windows thing was brutal. Constant head-bobbing.

My first quarter (just to show how old I am!) I had math 4:00-5;00 M-F. So I had to stick around campus all afternoon (also a Towers dweller). Then, to add insult to injury, the Final was the last option on the last day of finals, so I had to stick around another 2-3 days just for that.

I think the baby boom is 1946-1964. I am 62, born in 1960.

Ok, early 60s. Boomers are old. I think people are starting to get Gen xers mixed up with boomers.

Us Xers just get forgotten. The old ones of us are getting close to 60, but not yet I think.

Oops! We were on quarters my first year -- forgot that. Had to take a six credit physics class first sem soph year. Damn near got a D in it, which would have sunk me.

I couldn't decide whether to Agree, Dislike or "Winner" your post.

I despised Friday 4 or 5 pm classes (even worse if I had 8 a.m. M-W-F in addition to it).

For finals week, I loathed having to do test the last day of finals week ... It was OK to have morning test the final day, but still preferred if everything was done by Thursday.

(Semester schedule, btw ... not sure if quarters system had a different day-of-week setup.)

Yes ... that's the most common timeframe definition.

There was a stretch when it got re-calibrated as 1945-60 (maybe in late-'90s/early '00s) then it went back to original. There was some kind of scramble for a few years to pinpoint if "X" meant "born in the 1960s" or if it made more sense as mid-'60s to early '80s.

Also part of the revision of Boom probably had to do with bell-curve of post-WWII births that peaked around '57 (?).

For awhile X was only about an 8 year spread or so.

I will retire from Cyclone Fanatic at the same age in which the self-proclaimed man of Iowa (Charles Grassley), leave the senate.

I read an obit of a young guy who died a couple years ago and it was mentioned in it that CF was his most beloved hobby. Never figured out who that was, but it made me a little sad, because if he was active here, I probably knew him.

I'm old. When I showed up, Morrill was under construction. Maybe not. But ISU was still on the trimester system.

Biggest surprise is that alarson is still in his 30’s. I always pictured him as an old angry man.

Quarters - summer was a quarter, too.

I suppose. But they referred to it as trimester system as I recall.
