1. I have all of them they grew in
I had braces when I was younger and my issues required a lot of teeth pulled and the wisdom teeth replaced some of them.

2. Had the bottom 2 out at 25 and the top 2 out recently at 50.
I should have done the last 2 much sooner (cost me an extra tooth due to bone loss) but the first time was such a bad experience I didn't want to deal with it.

3. All of them
Well, most of all of them - at least the parts that haven't chipped off.

4. Mine were all removed in 1980 while I was in the Air Force
In those days, the procedure required an overnight hospital stay. They must have used some great happy juice. The procedure itself was so pleasant that I found myself wishing they had removed them in four separate appointments.

7. Mine came out in 1985 at Tinker AFB
The process was similar.

My oral surgeon was a full bird colonel. After he removed them he said, "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

To which I replied, "Hell no, Colonel. Give me another shot of that stuff and you can take the rest."

11. I only had two, and they're gone.
The fact that I only had two makes weird sense in a way -- one of my parents had all of them, the other one had none.

13. Got all mine yanked at 18
all four were impacted so had to do the oral surgery route and then I developed dry sockets on the bottom two. Some of the worst pain I've ever been in but it was a great way to lose 20 pounds.

14. I have two. No problems with them other than the dentist
telling me I would have problems with them (decades ago!) Too old to care now. My current dentist says they are fine.

I never had any up top.

15. I only had three wisdom teeth (4th never showed or just never existed)
All gone now. I got a really nasty cavity in one of them and had it pulled. The other two got pulled somewhere along the line too but I don't remember what for.

16. I have three of mine.
One never grew in. A few years ago, they took an x-ray and it was way, way up there, but it never came down yet. Isn't that weird. :shrug:

19. All of them....
They came in fine, and weren't crowding anything so my dentist at the time decided to leave them.

My current dentist, however, showed me the x-rays of them, and how the roots are kind of bent at the ends. He's informed me that if they're ever needing to be pulled, it will be dicey as the root could break at the end, requiring some more invasive surgery to remove them. Here's to hoping that they stay healthy.
