KemChi: How old would be if you didn't know how old you were?


This is more than a just hypothetical or philosophical question. It is a reality in many parts of the world where people are born at home, far from hospitals and administrative centres and never registered.

When asked how old they are people (adults) invariably state an implausibly lower age than they visibly are. On the other hand, given the rigours of life in these parts, people age much faster than the normal ageing process. So one cannot be sure.

Anyway, this question is a lovely game question and invites an interesting variety of answers.

My answer would be: I would be younger than my mental maturity suggests. 'Tis a nice thought...

Of course, you know that is a persistent delusion of mine because the truth is exactly the converse.

937 years, 5 months and 11 days judging by the amount of useless and marginally useful information I've got stuffed inside my head.
