Latvijas Avīze Quiz: 10 Questions on How Old You Really Feel
The website of the Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze has published a light-hearted ten-question quiz meant to reveal a reader's “feeling age”. It starts from the idea that inner age does not always match the year of birth.
The website of the Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze has published a light-hearted quiz in which readers answer ten simple questions to find out how old they feel. It is meant as entertainment rather than a scientific study.
The idea behind the quiz
The introduction says time flies, but how people feel does not always match their birth year. As examples, it mentions a twenty-year-old who feels like a pensioner with a cup of tea, and people who are still jumping in the front rows at festivals after the age of forty. Readers are invited to check their inner age.
The first question
Only the first of the ten questions appears in the source text. It asks what excuse the reader has for not leaving the house after 8 p.m. The answer options are:
- none, because the person is already out or about to head out;
- “a lot of work or study tonight”, even though they are really just playing games or watching a series;
- “I have already washed my face and put on my home trousers”;
- no excuse is needed, because everyone knows the person is unavailable after eight.
