In summary, Spongebob's age is never mentioned in the show, but his driver's license and creator's statements suggest he is an adult character and therefore ageless.

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

" he goes to primary school, has a job, and lives by himself"
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.
