My age is the molecular weight of sodium hydroxide minus the spin multiplicity of hexaamminecobalt(III) ion (low-spin, strong field => diamagnetic complex) times the number of "common" amino acids. To this add the number of alfa and beta chains in Hemoglobin plus the number of phosphate goups in ATP.

How hard can it be?

(40-1x20+4+3=27)
Is it sad that I immediately translated the binary to 22, and that I only had to think of what everything added together, and whether the spin of hexaamminecobalt(III) was positive or negative? I honestly don't know why I still remember the rest of the stuff... I can understand the binary, since that's kind of what I do, but I haven't touched Bio or Chem in years (well, five)...

And to toss mine in, this summer will be #21. The night before my birthday should be... interesting. Good thing I don't get hangovers.
