Calculate your Hobbit age

After reading Lord of the Rings about 500 times, I've discovered a few things about the rate of maturity of the average Hobbit as his life proceeds. For one thing, Hobbits tend to live much longer than Men even without the One Ring that gave Bilbo a long-ish life. Hobbits also come of age at 33, while we of the Race of Men come of age at the age of 18. From this data, I have devised a formula with which one can calculate his Hobbit age based on his Human age.

If we assume that the principle of cross-multiplication is accurate in deducing the relationship between two bits of data, then one's Hobbit age may be calculated using the formula

h/33 = m/18

which may be re-written as

h = 1.83m

where h = Hobbit age and m = Man age.

I've read a bit of the appendixes of Lord of the Rings, and from that I know how old each Hobbit is at the time when they first set out from the Shire. I've forgotten them all though, so I'm going to Google it. Excuse me. Thank you I've found it now. Bilbo is 128, Frodo is 50, Sam is 38, Merry is 36, and Pippin is 28.

If we apply the equation h = 1.83m, then in Man years, Bilbo is about 70, Frodo is 27, Sam is about 21,  Merry is 19, and Pippin is 15. In other words, Frodo is 50 but has the maturity level of a 27 year old man. Pippin is 28 and has the maturity level of a 15 year old, which is why he's so darn cute.

I am 19 which means I'm about as old as Merry. That makes me about 4 years older than Pippin which would make it awkward for him to ask me out. Rats. Can't win them all though, I can settle for Merry. Pippin gets married anyway, which isn't mentioned in the book, but it says so in the Appendixes. It never says Merry gets married though, so he's a free agent. Except for I'm about two feet taller than him, which would be darned awkward.

Drat, now I'm running late for school. See yall later.
