    You upload a photo, v. easily done if you have a smart phone. Just grab one from your gallery and it'll make a guess.

    I was told I look 40. I'm still in my twenties, albeit in the the second half. I don't think it's programmed to deal with beards very well.. see what it guesses.
    I can't post links as a new user.

    The site is "how-old" followed by ".net"

    It seems to constantly overestimate by 10-15 years from the photos I tried

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Come back to us when you are 24 and they say you look 29.

    You won't be booming then

    I'm 36. It said 43. Which means I can sit back and relax for the next 7 years, I'm so far ahead of myself.

    You're happy that you look older?? That's such an alien concept to me at this stage.

    It seems to throw out different answers depending on light conditions, the angle the photo is taken from etc. Tested it with a few photos of myself from a recent night out. Results ranged from 4 years younger than my real age (wahey!) to 8 years older (boo!). Funnily enough my best result was with a photo taken towards the end of the night, when I was on my 10th or so beer. Perhaps that's the key to looking young.

    Yeah I know! They'll probably call it something stupid and generic like Facebook or something.

    I'm a 41 yo male. Smiley face gave me 23. Neutral face gave me 32. Every single person guesses my age as 26. Not 25, not 27....26.

    ie. it's far off my real age but not far off what other people guess.

    It usually comes up when a topic concerning anything about the 70's or 80's is discussed.

    "Sure what would you know about the 70's or 80's??"
    "Dude, I was born in 1974!"
    "FCUK OFF!!"
    "Yep :D "
    "Jaysus, I would have guessed about....26!"

    :D
