I have a question: How old is spongebob? he goes to primary school, has a job, and lives by himself how old is he

i have figuered: 15*46/1564-654+155 = -498.55882352941176470588235294118 days old

He goes to BOATING school, not primary. lol
 
lol get your facts straight. by my guess, he is about 16-21 in fish years, assuming that he is around the same age as squidward, but a giant baby at heart

which is meaningless. Where did you get the numbers you used in your "solution"?

that in of itself is word salad!

The job is derivable by the cross product vector of his pineapple and patrick.
 
are you taking into consideration the aging effects of disulfide mixed with sponge?
 
His age is ambiguous! In fact, he is ageless.
How old is Spongebob?
This is never mentioned out loud in the show, but it's just a little trivial fact that people yearn to know. Spongebob was born on July 14, according to his driver's license, which you can see in the eps Sleepy Time and No Free Rides.

However, Stephen Hillenburg considers Spongebob and Patrick to be adult characters (for example, obviously they're old enough to live on their own), so they're actually ageless in the show.

I am surprised that this topic was started in General Math.

Now these are the kind of math topics I like! I was just browsing through the board "tensor analysis and differential geometry," came back to the general math section and see "how old is Spongebob." :D
