Each additional decade of age seems half as long as the previous one was.

0-10 took forever

10-20 took 20 years

20-30 took 10 years

30-40 took 5 years

I'm 40 and it feels like 50 is next year already.

This article is frustratingly vague on what the judge actually did. Probably because it's not nearly as clickbaity.
