Just wondering how old everyone in the band is?

[Stephen Dame]

Their total combined age is around 198, and their total combined weight is 1,104 lbs... I'll let you do the math.

I think if you do a search though, there have been a few threads about it.

By this description, there are 5 variables (each member) and only two equations. This is indeterminate, and therefore no one can "do the math."
You need as many equations as variables in order for it to be solvable


I did a search on solving equations and came up dry,

I can hear the groans already from readers, (i didn't actually search, i'm just assuming there would be nothing)

cheers

...and came up dry

Its prom night all over again eh?

What? You don't care for averages... averages rock my friend. Let's say the boys are 40ish.

Gord downie turned 40 in febuary of this year. I believe Johnny is a few years younger than everyone else (3 or 4) and Bobby is the oldest if I'm not mistaken.

That makes their average weight about 220 lbs :wink:

I thought GD was the oldest.

GD's b'day is Feb 6, 1964, Johnny's is July 9. Not sure about the others.

Come on, medians rule. screw averages.

"At The Hundredth Median" was the working title, but it just didn't make sense.

And besides, the mode is where it's at.

[lord brazle]

Their first album was in 87 so they're 18 years old.

Good call.

In an interview w/Gordie I stumbled across a while back it sounded like he was the young'n. The only one under 40 at the time.

:lol: goofballs :lol:

I remember seeing an article in Maclean's on the M@W tour. I can't remember exact ages but here's the order with a year between each member if I recall correctly.
Rob
Gord S
Gord D
Paul
Johnny

[Cpt. Trips]
