49. Following that logic
Right now:

14-year olds are only: EXCEPTION - Division by 0! the person 15-year olds are.
15-year olds are only: EXCEPTION - Division by 0! the person 16-year olds are.
16-year olds are only: EXCEPTION - Division by 0! the person 17-year olds are.
17-year olds are only: EXCEPTION - Division by 0! the person 18-year olds are.

Isn't some representation better than none?
