I want IB Anniversary
Hello. I am looking for IB Anniversary, but I want to do a little contest to find out who gets to send it. Here's the riddle:
What is the remainder of my weight divided by my age?
(Or for you math/cs types: weight % age = ?)
First person to correctly answer here gets to send me IBA.
GO!

According to your profile, your age is 2007, so assuming your weight is under 2007,
weight % age = weight

@anti - Uh... nope. Way too high.
@iconmaniac - That's a bug in the IB system.

It's higher than 0 and lower than 412. It could only be 412, by the way, if I weighed more than 413 pounds. Which I don't.

I was interpreting your weight as the number of your stamps, dividing by 2007, then finding the remainder. 412. :)

Armatures *sigh*
When in doubt, the answer is ALWAYS 42.

?? umm... with weight % age, isn't it that it could only be 412 if you were at least 413 years old?

@emanaton - Think weight divided by age. Then take the remainder.
The current closest guesses are 25 and 7. It's somewhere between those two.

@davethegr8: riiiight... so the biggest the remainder could be is one less than your age (assuming no fractions)? So, a remainder does NOT provide an indication of your maximum weight, but rather, of your maximum age, yes?

@emanaton -
Yes, the max is age - 1.
@dyar - Uh... no. I suppose I should have mentioned that it's a positive integer...
16..20 - Closer, but not quite.

We have a winner - Iconmaniac! The correct mod of my weight and age is 17 (although if this had gone another week, cartuning would have gotten it).
Congrats, and thanks all for playing!
