How rigorously does Yahoo Answers enforce the age cut-off?

I know the Yahoo gerbils are not cops, and if people pledge they're over the age limit to post here then that's the best they can do, but either some of the questions here are coming from 7 year-olds or a wave of inexplicable head trauma has swept the world since I was at school.

    I agree with you. I regularly have to hold myself back from chewing people out for asking the most ridiculous questions. People who believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question have never been to Yahoo Answers.

    @Dubya. Are you serious? I mean really, are you serious? There are 4 jacks and 4 kings in a deck of 52 cards. That makes the probability of drawing one or the other exactly 8/52, which simplifies to (wait for it...) 2/13. Real quick, who is it that needs to go back to school again?

    I totally agree with David about the level of some questions.

    I also think Dubya's comments about David must have been caused by the frustration that in 3 year's time since he joined, Dubya hasn't done much to show for himself.

    I would also be very keen to attend Dubya's discourses on the subject of probability. He sounds like an incarnation of Laplace.

    Well, considering the fact that you answered the probability of drawing a king or a jack out of a deck of 52 cards is 2/13, I'd say you might want to consider returning to school.
