How old were you when you first heard of Bessler?

I was 46.

I also want to thank John, Scott, Bill and all the others that helped make his acomplishments known. Without their work I would have died never knowing about this great puzzle. Thanks guys!!!!!!

14 (perpetual motion wheels were very briefly mentioned in a history lesson at school way back in 1976. Did some trolling through library books and found him!)

At the eleventh hour.

20:6. But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others
standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?

20:7. They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them:
Go ye also into my vineyard.

20:8. And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his
steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the
last even to the first.

20:9. When therefore they were come that came about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny.

I must have been 15 or 16. I have read an article in a scientific review in a public library. I have found the subject fascinating...

18 to 19...
In 1962 I got a matter at Readers Digest and the Bessler name came back to me in 2003, in this forum.
Before 1962, the PM challenge was already in my mind, maybe since 11... thanks to two uncles and my father.
