The mountains know how old you are

[Explorer Editor]

You don't want to reveal your age? Then tell us how many High Peaks you can climb in a day and follow a few simple mathematical operations, and we'll figure it out.

methinks he talks in maths

(fun though!)

Use simple algebra and the formula reduces to (100 * N) + (2010 - Y - ?)

It worked! I bet the year you were born is the key? Doug?

&or is it the three place decimal point smooths out the number to be your age?

Any strong hiker can climb one, and we won’t believe you if you say you can climb ten.

Does that make Bob Marshall a liar?

On July 15, 1932, Marshall set a record of a different sort by climbing 14 Adirondack peaks within 19 hours, a feat that required a total ascent of 13,600 feet.

How many people of this board stopped reading after the line, " Any strong hiker can climb one, and we won’t believe you if you say you can climb ten"?

Edit: Damn Tim Seaver for beating me to it..probably can climb more peaks in a day too...

Like I understand that.

What he's saying is this is just 'slight of hand' with math, it is not about mountains. Obviously, any 'function' that asks when you were born can determine your age.

Not so obvious to some. Now if it had $ signs I do much better.
