How many licks to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

Factors to consider: Male, 6'2", 225 lbs, hair line starts farther back than his childhood, slight limp from the right leg

Is there a known equation to help guide you through this difficult question?

Thank you for the prompt response. It seems I have lost the bet with my local barber (my wife)--I said Grape usually gets thrown away due to the disappointment of pulling purple out of the mixed bag and I had orange at a mere 212 licks. I never could get an accurate take on Cherry, it seems those always disappear from the bag before I ever get to it.
