Solar storms spell trouble for GPS
Something like that...
Are you thinking of tree rings?
I thought you were asking how naive I was to bang my head like that.
AFAIK, you can't determine age from core samples.
As for your phrasing, I have several in-laws that are Irish and would
phrase the question just that way! (You won't be havin' a drink, will
'ya?)

How old you were?
22. During my second or third flying lesson.
A core sample does not come from the earth's core. It is a sample
obtained by core drilling. You can get a core sample from glaciers,
or
even your own skin.
I did that with a pitot tube once; took a core sample of my forehead.
Guess what they found?
