Well...no one, but we have few half-winners, the best half-winner is:

Mum and Dad from back in the 1970's ?

Using H_B's magical formula the man works out to be about 5'4" for me.

He guessed right for the man (he's 164 cm according to medical record....barely 5'4, let's assume he was 165 cm at that age). Good job Soliloquist, how did you do it? Did you guess from my own height?

Kraftie and naturalplastic had a close estimation for the woman (her height now is 155 cm, let's assume she was 156-7 cm back then)

So in other term, the biggest losers in this game was Hale_bopp and Fireblossom :lol:

170 cm? 6 ft 1? :lol:

Your height-calculation-on-picture skill is TERRIBLE. :lol:

I know their heights because like Soliloquist guessed, they're my parents in the 70s, when they were still engaged.

lol. I have no option than to admit defeat then. Do they have small heads? I also said with the boots. I’ll need to re-evaluate my height calculating methods. I’ll do a diagram when I get to Hong Kong and post it in here.

Wow... this was embarrasing...

He could also be full of crap, as they’re not standing next to a ruler. Though I probably did a sloppy job.

I'll be 57 in 5 days. I am the exact same height I was when I was 17: 5 foot 4 3/4, or 164.5 cm.

I believe people start "shrinking," usually, in their 60s.
