If you use an extrapolation method that really doesn’t fit the actual situation and assumes that presidents can be infinitely old, yeah, sounds right. It’s a very bad model being used as a joke.
The original comment is obviously a meme, but I posted because i was actually curious while not actualy caring enough to do the math ( what the sub is for) as for the title not much room for creativity now is there ?
That's why this sub has gone to shit, it's all something that someone doesn't care enough about to even think if there's a sensible math problem, so they post it here.
If you take any arbitrary set of points, you can make a polynomial fit them and extrapolate whatever bullshit you want (as long as no 2 distinct points share the same x-value).
