Yep. That's the way it is here. (at my school anyway)

You don't know that all the famous writers were abducted by aliens and are writing about their experiences in foreign planets? :eek:

Actually, there's a third reason: it's ALREADY translated, just in base 256.

Then he's a liar and it's not really Martian, as he said
Technically, it could be complex with a nonzero coefficient to i in the form a+bi, but imaginary was close enough at the time.

Okay. Well...um...looks like your having a good time with this. Translate this to find how old I am (and yes, you can translate it) AC

You get 3 hints

3 hints? Well then, what are they?

Well, AC is short for "Air Conditioner," and air conditioners usually either are in buildings or cars. Thus, you are either in a nursury or you own a building/car. Since you are typing, its not the nursery possibility, so thus you have to own a building or a car. The legal age to own either is 18, so logic dicates you are...18. Right?

2. Are you married?
3. Are you over the hill?

Do you know what guys? I think he is just embarrased about his age. :rolleyes:

1. NO
2. NO
3. NO

Pyro guessed it. I'm 13. A is the first letter of the alphabet and C is the third. Thus it must be 13.

Dang! Mike I thought you were like 25 or something close to that. Boy am I surprised.

Opps sorry to blow your cover. Now lets see, who else can we try to figure out how old they are? Who should we figure out?
