If anyone can figure out the day I was born I'll be highly impressed.

28th or 29th July 1980 ?

Oh! Close! Less than 30 days out. Did you remember leap years? That might account for some of it.

And the time is from the minute I was born until today at 14:50.

12:27pm, 5th October, 1980.

Minute = 60 sec
Hour = 3600 sec
Day = 24*2600 = 86400 sec

So my age was:
From my birth until 13:00 = 1980 sec (33 minutes)
From 13:00 until midnight = 39600 sec (11 hours)
From midnight until end of october = 2,246,400 sec (26 days)
Rest of the year 1980 = 5,270,400 sec (61 days)
The following years had 365 days:
1981, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003
each at 31,536,000 sec each(365 days) = 567,648,000
The following years were leap years:
1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000
each at 31,622,400 sec each (366 days) = 158,112,000
29 days of Jan: 2,505,600
14 hours: 50,400
50 mins: 3000

Which when added up gives 735,877,380 Seconds. Slightly off from my first answer, but still. :)

And yes, adding 10 years gives you about 1.05 billion seconds. :)

you originally gave the figure Approx 7,389,836,580 earth seconds.

which is a bit different from this : 735,877,380 Seconds. Slightly off from my first answer, but still. :)

Im 16, and suprised! :o Id say that the average age of gamers is 16, with the extremes being at about 3 and 82. Im suprised at how many people 20 -> there are!

Well, the extremes on this forum are 6 and 95 yrs old. If anyone is actually intrested I can get an average for the ages.

Sitting a Higher maths cause messes with my brain.... :lol:

actually the average gamer is like 25-35 years old...
I'm extremely surprised at the amount of gamers over 50. You mean to say that you guys' reflexes are still fast enough to video game? :-P
