The US census does this. The last time they I opened the door for them the person was surprised I didn't need the calculator they were holding. They correctly guessed that I was older than the age they thought, and they correctly guessed that I was not from where I was living.
We have the same fucking issue in the US of A. Only the elderly should have needed a calculator for those problems.
This sounds like they should've won a stuffie from some carnie at the State Fair.
Also, the first half seems like an inception. How could they have guessed higher than the age they themselves originally thought?
Was there a discordance between the census takers impression and the official gov records? Are you talking about the door knocker taking a second higher bound guess after you implied that they were wrong, implying you were older than you look?
Is this just some humblebrag about your youthful looksmaxxing? /s
The age thing has to do with Common Core. Those of us that didn't have Common Core math had to memorize. Don't forget we have 50 states, and they switched teaching styles at different times. So, my age where I lived didn't do memorization in math. But, I not only wasn't from there, back then I was constantly surprising people that I was legal to drink.
I'm chatty, so I talked to that person. They told me that they used to have more difficult problems, and no calculator. But, people weren't completing the form so they had to dumb it down.
