    My partner is non-binary, so this search wouldn’t work on them.

    Abbott: “So say you’re 40 and you like a girl that’s 10. Well you’re really too old for her because you’re 4x her age. So let’s say you wait 5years. Now you’re 45 and she’s 15, so you’re only 3x as old as her, but that’s still a bit much, so you wait another 15years and now you’re 60 and she’s 30. Only half your age now.

    How long do you have to wait till you’re both the same age?”

    Costello: “Well 4 then 3 then 2… at this rate she’d better be willing to wait for me too.”

    Abbott: “what do you mean?”

    Costello: “Going like this, eventually she’ll be older than me and she better wait for me to catch up.”

    Abbott: “Why would she wait for you?”

    Costello: “WELL I WAITED FOR HER!”

    Yes, people some times live up to 120 years. You should start at 60.

      With the limits of longevity still being pushed, I’d suggest sticking with the OP binary search theme and start at 64.

        Well, round numbers will indeed make the math easier.

          If you like round numbers, 69 is all curves.

    the mistake was assuming the upper limit ended at 100

    If she is not 64 then she is 32.

    If she is not 32 then she is 16.

      At 16, she was FAT.
      At 32, she was still FAT32.
      But by 64, she was exFAT.

    Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don’t know the age of the oldest human.
