Life's too short to take such a test, but I'm dying to know what the outcome would be :laugh:

Having done the test, there is a 98% chance that I will be living long enough to get my Pendolinos, see the new electric trains on the FGW routes, Crossrail complete, etc   :claphappy:

I did it 3 times to make sure I believe the conclusions and got 'over 5 years to live' so am guessing that I can expect to live over 5 years every time which means that I must have over 15 years ahead of me  :thumbsup:

"I did it 3 times to make sure I believe the conclusions and got 'over 5 years to live' so am guessing that I can expect to live over 5 years every time which means that I must have over 15 years ahead of me"  Keep doing it - you will outlive us all!  :laugh:

I tried but felt I wouldn't live long enough to answer all the questions.

It would seem I'm 16 years older than I thought I was, with a 26.2% chance of shuffling off this mortal coil in the next 5 years :worried: :goodbye:

I like the precision of this estimate. Anyway, who really wants to know the answer to this question? In the big scheme of things we are all on the same train. Some get off the train earlier than others.

True, but I'd rather get off when I want to and not when some bugger pulls the communication cord :laugh:

Bet it can't predict the moment you get squashed under a bus because you were too busy looking at your fancy watch instead of where you were going . . .

 :confused2: Why are men asked more questions than women? Isn't that sort of 'sexist'? :hmmm:
And as Sprintex said, can it predict the moment that you step in front of a bus? ???
As ever with these things it made someone (but not me  :'() a lot of money but did nothing else. :thumbsdown:
