Guess the age

[daltontrees]

How old do folks reckon is this bit of Douglas Fir?

[the village idiot]

1350?

[se7enthdevil]

875 years.

[sandspider]

527 years.

[MATTMOSS]

I would guess around 600 years old.

[peatff]

420 years 3 months 1 week 5 days.

[luftwaffe]

I know exactly how old it is!!

 

Its two million and two weeks old.

 

i know because someone told me two weeks ago that it was two million years old.

[sandspider]

Depends if we're talking its age when it was felled, or its age now!

[the village idiot]

Depends if we're talking its age when it was felled, or its age now!

 

Ah, good point!

[daltontrees]

Depends if we're talking its age when it was felled, or its age now!

 

Yeah well it was felled in 1900, so all I know is what age it was then. Vaguely specified guesses can be up to 115 years wrong and still be right.

 

I can't remember the right answer, it's on the other computer all the way up stairs and in the office. Then there's switching it on [sigh] and waiting for it to warm up and all that... may get round to it later.
