I wouldn't count on that. Most people looking at my son guessed his age to be around 5 to 6 years old, yet he's not even 2 and a half. |

Pumped with steroids I see. Clever.

Nope, calcium work just fine. ( I considered steroids, but decided it's too early.  )

If you need to ask this then you have failed in arriving at an answer and need to have hidden clues or even the plain answer revealed to you.
You are a bit of a disappointment, ThudanBlunder.

I don't. Humans have every right to be curios and most people will react by reading the hidden text. The reason often isn't you can't thinking of an another answer. And I don't like him almost directly telling us that we are dumb because we wanted to read a text, and then telling us that it was a joke.
If it is a joke than please don't make an offensive one, especially if it is about a nice group we are here.

Thanks everyone for very interesting discussion. I saw this question in another riddle forum in which people are also discussing. The "seemingly" intended answer has been discussed by some of us here. It is either "Asking the twin" or " Asking a series of indirect questions e.g., solving unknown B's age given B's age ^2 + A's age^3 = 125 " or do some magic number trick e.t.c.
In summary, this question may be open-ended with many feasible solutions.
Have A Great Day!

Which i did say that it was mostly a joke, plus i didn't say there was anything wrong with being human, i just said it proves that you are human. I'm human and i'm not complaining, although i would like to be a time lord.

Well I mainly mean the agreeing with me part, seeing as he agreed with the first answer, which was mine. and I assumed he was joking
And so I guess we're all correct then

I think that's the problem. He thought he was a Time Lord.
