Poll: How old are you?

Now that the poll has been running for a while, i took the time to render the data into a more appropriate format. Yes, there's bars next to the poll, but the age ranges are very different.
Screenshot of data used:


This chart only assumes that each interval progresses linearly and the distribution is continous (and the "or less" and "or more" ranges cut off at some point). The area of each section is equal to the amount of votes for that age range.
The scroll bar at the bottom adjusts the assumed amount of people at age 14 (as in, the height of that line), which varies the one degree of freedom that remains. I set that value to what produced the most bell-curvy shape (you could also get something like this...).

For the future!

PS: If anybody is interested, i can also share the geogebra file for this.

Who's the 90 old player? lol

You might notice that if you extrapolate the amount of 90 year old players, you get 0. L2R graphs.

Again though, you have no way of knowing the distribution of age >50 or <14. The bounds are somewhat arbitrary (and a result of assuming linear steps and continuity).

I know you're joking, i just wanted to emphasize the method in question. We're always using models to explain stuff, knowing the assumptions and limits of your model is vital.

Also, here's a bar chart, if you want:


(Yes, i moved the slider, which means the bars for the undetermined age ranges cut off at a different value. Note that moving the slider has zero impact on the other bars though!).

What I would like to see: superposition of current poll dataset with dataset of previous poll. But I wouldn't be surprised if the old dataset was gone...

Germany should be at the end with the final solution.

Sorry mojjj, you had it coming.

I would avoid this to ensure the trolls don't get fuel to throw on their "12 year old admins" fire.

Votes ain't anonymous. Data on this is available. So just gotta get it from the database, someone. Personally I'm more interested in those 13- and 50+ people though. Especially since 13- has 5% of the votes while 40-49 and 50+ both have 6% each.

nice now I have a good place for my question. :)
Why is this information helpfull to 0k? I really wondered about this wired poll.
I mean what is the matter of age? A 14 year old kid could win vs. a 29 year old player.

To awoid this Sponge is 12 thing, I am not 14! I am closer to the 29. :P

It's because admins are members of NSA and must gather as much information from us as possible to sell for profit, because the game itself can not create this profit. Obvious things are obvious!
