How do you reconcile your "plight" with the fact that many youngters

AND all the *written* tests.

The youngest extra I know got that license at the age of 8. That was
before restructuring, when there were 5 *written* tests.

They were better at code than I am.

Heck, they were better at code than *I* was at their age!

It doesn't correlate with age, or intelligence.

There are many different kinds of intelligence.

I could have passed all the theory at 14.

But could you have passed all the theory at 8? I don't think I could
have.

It's hard to say. I didn't really develop an interest in radio until I was
13. Probably not.
