I resemble that remark! :-)
I'm 67 (but not yet retired), I taught myself the Trachtenberg algorithms for mental arithmetic when I was around 12 (was reminded of this last night when I watched Gifted on netflix), I mail ordered what was probably the first Rubik's cube to get to Norway. (And developed three different algorithms to solve it, but I only remember the last one now which I had optimized for simplicity, not speed.)
Those, along with high school chess and orienteering mapping should count as nerdy pursuits, right?
Winning the County Yo-Yo championship would be less so?
Regards to all the regulars here, I do consider many of you friends that I just haven't met yet.
