Happy 4th Birthday!

...okay, yeah, family joke. You get your "real age" by adding the digits in your age together.

3+1=4

If you get a two-digit number as the sum, you have the option of adding again.

The benefit of this system is, you never actually age past 18.

I have a philosophy that everyone I don't know is 29... it has served me well.

That all depends on what you believe is typical of 29-year-olds. That philosophy could be good, or incredibly bad.

I've known a couple of people that clearly assumed anyone they didn't know was an overambitious college-undergrad-turned-script-kiddie, which led them to look their nose down at people with many times more experience than them.
