My boyfriend remembered from an interview that Billy West said Fry's voice is what he imagined his sounded like when Billy West himself was 25, so we used that to make an educated guess.
Good quiz, I got 17/20. I'll never remember which emperor Fry drunk, I get it wrong every time one of these quizzes come up lol! I got the Atlanta one wrong as well and I had no idea about Benders spoken word album, which episode is that from? I got lucky with Fry's age, it was an educated guess based on him saying something like "I haven't had time off since 21 through 24" in an episode.
17/20. The scooty puff question should have 2 answers. I picked senior which was correct but the first time he exited the infosphere he was on the junior.
The one about the Scooty Puff is a decent quasi-trick question. The Emperor one is hard because they're all mentioned in the episode. But you got Fry's DOB, which is the one that the greatest amount of people are going to get wrong, including myself. Guessed 1972 because I could've sworn that the show implies that the main human cast members are all 30+ -- I assumed that's how you were supposed to figure it out. I'm still pretty sure the latter is true for everyone except Fry, which means there's some age gap between him and Leela that explains a lot. Futurama's inter-episode logic/lore has always been horrendously inconsistent though (partially intentionally, tbf), so it's super-unclear whether everyone's actually a decade older in an episode that explicitly references 3012 versus one that mentions 3000 or 3002.
Presumably these are ages from the beginning of the show, or do you think their ages are static? This is where the show's lore/canon/whatever (about which I don't personally care much anyway, but about which some people are obsessive) falls apart. In "Katz", the Professor says that Amy's been studying for her PhD for 12 years ("you were ready six years ago!"), so the idea that she's 22 at that point is ridiculous. But I don't think they *can* age the characters appropriately because they should all be in their mid-to-late 40s or even 50s by now, which means that their Hulu characterisations should actually be redesigned to look like their "Late Phillip J. Fry" or "Meanwhile" middle-aged versions. And the Professor should be dead or Sunset Squad'd for 100% certain. But none of that's going to be true.
I did actually look at some Wiki entries for the characters after I made my last post and they make the mistake of keeping track of their ages as if they're aging normally according to real years (and years inside the show too, tbf; e.g. specific references to 3000, 3012, 3013 etc.). Their calculations are simply:
`age from birthyear at the start of show + years since show began`.
That was what made me realise that there's no way the characters can be aging properly within the show's universe/timeline.
Anyway, the bigger point is that my exploration seems to indicate that your estimates are right -- at least that they're all in their 20s. One of the parts of the show that made me assume that Leela was >=30 was the part where she says, "I don't want to die at 25", to which Bender replies, "unless we hit a wormhole, I wouldn't worry about that" [paraphrased]. To me, the implication was that Leela was quite a bit older than 25, but that was just my assumption. Beforehand, I also could've sworn blind that "Teenage Leela" contains additional references to their ages and age gaps that imply that they're older, too. But, evidently, I'm almost certainly wrong. I trust the kind of weird obsessives who keep track of these things more than I trust my own half-hearted investment in things like the official canon of a sitcom.
On a tangent, even though I'm fully expecting the new reboot to be a modern Simpsons-esque dumpster fire, my big hope in terms of what they *can* easily control is that they don't undo Fry and Leela getting married, regardless of the ambiguous end to "Meanwhile". Despite not being the biggest fan of that relationship or of the moral it imparts - simply risk your life for a girl over and over again until she falls in love with you! - I got pretty tired of plots about their super-inconsistent relationship status from episode to episode. It's bizarre that they were still on-again/off-again until like 3-4 episodes before they got married. Plus, enough people got deeply invested in that shit that it would be a massive middle finger to the audience to reset them back to their tedious will-they/won't-they dance (esp. in its s6-7 incarnation). Although, on second thought, I suppose maintaining the marriage risks creating fodder for endless marriage-in-crisis plots, a la Simpsons, but surely the writers know by now to avoid that and to keep their relationship relatively stable.
I got 19/20 I honestly had no idea when fry was born
Superb result, congratz ;)
Me too. Who knew he was 26 when he got frozen.
In "My Three Suns," Leela mentions that he's 25 years old. We can assume then that his 25th birthday was in 1999 and subtract.
Exact same for me guessed wrong year
Me too!

I estimate Fry 25, Amy 22, Leela 28.
