The folks that worked on this LEGO age check text field (!!) are automatically the best web developers on the planet right

(Sound on for perfection)

@cabel

Can't argue with perfect, but it's be _even more perfect_ if it only used blocks and colors available at your birth year.

@mattdm @cabel that would be fun, but I don’t see it working: they don’t know your birth year until it’s too late

@freezombie @mattdm @cabel They know a possible span. =)

19** is built with ancient blocks but 2*** the 2 can be built with up to year 2000 blocks, 197* the 7 is built with up to 70s blocks and the last digit knows exactly what years are allowed.

@clacke @freezombie @cabel @mattdm

ISTR most of the extra colours of Lego blocks arrived around the 1980s and 1990s (I once saw a bar graph showing this) so it would be also possible to select an an expanded palette if "8" or "9" are entered...

@vfrmedia @clacke @cabel @mattdm you’ll still have to compromise for people that are older than LEGO of course
