Hm...I assumed the quiz wouldn't work if questions were left blank, so when I tried taking the quiz I answered all the questions, even those that didn't really apply (I just chose the answer that seemed least objectionable)...and got an answer of 19.
I just tried it again now, leaving blank some questions that really didn't apply, or to which none of the answers sounded good...and got a 10.
My guess is that the way it works is by starting at zero and adding a number to the age for each answer; the more "childish" answers add a smaller number, but even they add at least one or two. Leaving a question blank adds zero by default, and therefore always yields a smaller final result than would have been the case had any of the answers been chosen.
I am now going to test this hypothesis by simply hitting "Submit" without selecting any of the answers. If I'm right, this should yield an age of zero.

Yup.
